FROME College’s musical talent filled the air last month at Frome Busks.
Taking place at eight stations across the town centre, passers-by were hugely impressed by both the artistic creativity of the performances and the confidence of the young musicians.
Supported by Frome Town Council, the performers played across the different sites; the quieter locations such as the Valentine Lamp presented a beautiful setting for acoustic performances and the Boyle Cross provided a vibrant stage for the amps to be turned up!
One shopper outside the Cheese & Grain said she’d “just popped down for a coffee and stayed for the whole event!”
Head of music at Frome College, Josh Hampson said, “The performers and tech team did brilliantly and raised a whopping £550 over the course of 3 hours. It was great to see the performers enjoy themselves and the town centre come alive with their creativity.”
Frome Town Council’s community projects officer, Vivienne Whitaker said, “The sun wasn’t the only thing that shone, the quality of the performers was outstanding and there was an excellent mix of well-known songs and original songs. The town was buzzing, and we can’t wait to support next year’s event.”
The performers were jubilant from the experience and enjoyed an after-party jam at 23 Bath Street, where all acts got to play one of their favourite songs while enjoying pizza.
