Preparations for Frome’s first busking competition for under 25s are well under way, with some seriously fresh bands and acts already signed up.
Set for the 10th March, performances will be spread across some of the most iconic parts of the town centre from 12pm-4pm, with acts changing every 30 minutes.
“Open to anyone under 25, each act will be assessed by a panel of judges and the winner will be awarded with the chance to perform at 23 Bath Street and Sunrise Festival later this year,” said Al O’Kane, Frome Town Council’s performing arts sponsor. “Although Frome is brimming with talent of all ages, this is an amazing opportunity for young performers to gain some great exposure and play some amazing music around the town.”
Frome Busks will open with a special guest performance at 12pm and will close with the utterly fantastic Noisy Oyster at 4.00pm. The winner will be announced at 23 Bath Street at 4.30pm.
The deadline for entering the competition is the 20th February at 5pm, so get in quick if you’d like to take part. To enter, please get in touch with Charlie Orr at orrc@frometowncouncil. gov.uk and visit www.frome towncouncil.gov.uk/frome busks.
