2025-12-11 19:00 - 22:00 (Europe/London) | Cheese and Grain, Market Yard, Frome, BA11 1BE
Our Christmas special is the biggest night of the year, and we’re going all out with a double-headliner line-up guaranteed to bring the festive laughs.
Kicking things off is the brilliant Hal Cruttenden – one of the UK’s best-loved stand-ups. A master of sharp gags, biting wit, and cheeky storytelling, Hal has lit up shows like Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, and Mock the Week. His high-energy, mischievous style is the perfect way to get the party started.
Closing the night is the effortlessly hilarious Ivo Graham – the youngest ever winner of So You Think You’re Funny and now a regular across TV and radio (Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, Have I Got News For You, The Last Leg). With his razor-sharp observations, posh charm, and brilliantly awkward anecdotes, Ivo has become one of the most distinctive and in-demand comics in the country.
Holding it all together is our resident host Rich Wilson, serving up festive banter and keeping spirits high from start to finish.
Expect a night of big laughs, festive cheer, and the perfect warm-up for Christmas!

British Lion
2025-12-08 19:00 - 22:00 | Cheese and Grain, Market Yard, Frome, BA11 1BE
British Lion is Iron Maiden founder Steve Harris’ first-ever side project. Their eponymous 10 song debut album was released in 2012 and pronounced both “brilliant” and “a big hearted ferocious triumph” by the music press who also commented that although it’s stamped with Steve’s inimitable style, it’s also very different to Iron Maiden so fans will be in for a whole new experience seeing and hearing the songs live – a trademark that was continued to glorious effect with the release of The Burning in 2020, which was spearheaded by three epicsingles: Spit Fire, Lightning, and The Burning.
The band has undertaken a relentless touring schedule since, including shows in Europe, Canada, North and South America, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
British Lion are:
Richard Taylor – vocalist
David Hawkins – guitar
Grahame Leslie – guitar
Steve Harris – bass & keyboards
Simon Dawson – drums
According to Harris, the decision to embark upon his first-ever side-project was strictly down to the raw talent of the musicians involved.
“It’s taken years for this to come together,” he says. “Originally vocalist Richard Taylor and guitarist Grahame Leslie sent me a tape – that should show you how long ago this was. I was just impressed and decided to help them a bit and it went from there. I thought the songs were so strong it’d be a crime if it they didn’t see the light of day.”

The Blockheads
2025-12-05 20:00 - 22:00 | Cheese and Grain, Market Yard, Frome, BA11 1BE
Special Christmas Tour…”Keeping the Spirit of Ian Dury Alive
It seems scarcely possible that it’s 25 years since the passing of the band’s legendary founder and figurehead Ian Dury.
Over the ensuing years, the Blockheads have very much kept the legacy of his outstanding contribution to British music alive and kicking.
For Blockheads newbies, the band were formed in 1977 to partner Ian Dury on the first Stiff Records UK tour promoting his now classic “New Boots & Panties” album leading to dizzy heights with chart topping singles and albums.
The current band still features joint main songwriter Chas Jankel, Mickey Gallagher (also of Animals fame) both on keyboards and guitarist John Turnbull augmented by longterm stalwarts John Roberts (drums), saxman extraordinaire Dave Lewis and new front man and vocalist, famed record producer Mike Bennett.
The original lineup have always been augmented with a host of great musicians including Wilko Johnson , Norman Watt-Roy, and Dylan Howe, son of Yes’ Steve Howe, dedicated to keeping the unique blend of rock, funk, jazz and music hall at the forefront of the British music scene.
To mark this milestone since Ian’s death, the band are embarking on a special tour featuring all the classic material and some lesser known gems to celebrate the life of one of the all-time greatest showmen, lyricist and incomparable vocalist!
Expect all the classics “Sex & Drugs & Rock n’ Roll” ” Hit me with Your Rhythm Stick”, “What a Waste”, “Sweet Gene Vincent” and “Reasons to be Cheerful” as well as new material from a recent album release ” Beyond the Call of Dury”.
The swagger, menace and humour of their former leader are now remarkably captured by front man Mike Bennett, who faithfully follows in Ian’s footsteps whilst injecting his own unique style into proceedings and has built up an incredible rapport with audiences for his dynamic “in yer face” performances.
Appealing to audiences young and old alike, no two Blockheads shows are ever the same! If irreverent, masterful musicianship, high energy rock, funk, punk, new wave and jazz are your thing, don’t miss this sensational band who are guaranteed to blow up a storm..and probably the roof!
The band has always been known as one of the “must see” live acts, always producing an incendiary performance and a party atmosphere for the audience.
With a back catalogue to die for, making the Blockheads one of the most dynamic and entertaining acts this country has ever produced !
Sex & Drugs & Rock n’ Roll couldn’t be more appropriate! AN UNMISSABLE GIG!!

Emily Breeze – Live At The Tree House
2025-12-05 19:00 - 22:00 | The Tree House, 35 Berkley Road, Frome, Somerset, BA11 2EH, United Kingdom
Cult Bristolian artist Emily Breeze is known for her distinct brand of pop noir which combines a punk attitude, powerful performance and a dark sense of humour. Her music blends post-punk swagger with baroque pop drama, soaked in synths, cigarettes and sarcasm beautifully illustrated by her all star band Rob Norbury (lead guitar), Andy Sutor (drums), Helen Stanley (keys/synth), George Caveney (bass).
She saw National recognition in 2022 when singles “Confessions Of An Ageing Party Girl” and “Ordinary Life” were championed by BBC Radio 6 which resulted in being playlisted and a feature interview with Craig Charles. Followed by support slots for James and Sleaford Mods, a performance on Radio 4’s Loose Ends with Cive Anderson and a remix from Daddy G (Massive Attack). Two albums and many UK tour dates later her new album Rats in Paradise is all high-gloss melancholy and snarling wit — an anthem-filled fever dream where heartbreak wears sequins and even the rats look fabulous.
Praised by BBC 6 Music and adored in the underground, Emily delivers every line like it’s a last confession or a punchline — sometimes both.

The Smyths
2025-11-29 19:00 - 22:00 | Cheese and Grain, Market Yard, Frome, BA11 1BE
For more than twenty years, THE SMYTHS have brought the music of The Smiths back to life in the live arena across more than 900 shows in the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand as well as countless festivals including Glastonbury, The Isle of Wight and Bestival.
Acclaimed by Johnny Marr (on Radio 6) and Stephen Street (Smiths Producer), rather than employ silly props and clichéd visual tropes The Smyths focus on the live experience of a Smiths show, imagining what The Smiths would sound like today after more than 40 years of playing the songs to several generations of fans; from the teens of then who are Grandparents now, to their children and onto to the teens of today.
The music of The Smiths remains as fresh and important as it did at the time of it’s inception. The Smyths are a celebration of The Smiths caring less about the silly props choosing to focus on the experiential, the fevered rush of a brilliant band playing the songs of a generation that reverberates and resonates today.
“To call them a tribute band is an insult…I closed my eyes and it was 1985” – Jeremy Vine (Broadcaster)
“Having had the very good fortune to have worked up close and personal with THE SMITHS, I can vouch that THE SMYTHS are the most excellent “tribute” to the Smiths’ music and legacy” Stephen Street (legendary music producer of The Smiths)
