In fact, they’ve already been going for April and May, so we’ll start our listing from May 24. .. without further ado, let us introduce you to our artists! You may recognise a few of them from the local music scene, but there’s someone new who we’re very excited to see too!
Don’t forget our eclectic programme of live music events is FREE! So join us in our beloved and beautiful space here in the heart of Frome – on Thursdays from 7.30pm.

And of course we’ve got our diverse and delicious wine list, cocktails and seasonal food to amplify the sounds. Check out the spring and summer line up below!

13 JULY – SINNOBER
We’re so glad these local favourites are back for more. Sinnober is the mercurial creation of multi-instrumentalist song writers Sebastian & Natalie Brice. Sinnober’s sound has elements of jazz, folk, rock, pop and some might describe one of their latest singles ‘Ophelia’ as having hints of early hip hop a la Gil Scott-Heron. Check out more details here.
20 JULY – MARK LEWIS HEAVENOR
Mark Lewis Heavenor is a Scottish songwriter, composer, and guitarist, currently based between Scotland and southwest England. His music is at heart deeply melodic and lyrical yet is held within the angular and fluid expressions of his guitar style: one that is based on his love of flamenco and his background in Americana folk. Do not miss this.
27 JULY – EMMA HARRIS BAND
A combination of nu-soul, disco, and jazz-funk with some of best known professional musicians in the region. Get those dancing shoes on! If you missed them before, don’t miss out this time. It’s the perfect way to shake off those January blues! Scope them out here.
