The Phogues – Live at The Tree House
2025-12-19 19:00 - 22:00 (Europe/London) | The Tree House, 35 Berkley Road, Frome, Somerset, BA11 2EH, United Kingdom
Whether you need an uplifting and energetic band for the Weekend, a refined celebratory set for St. Paddy’s Day or a merry rendition of Fairytale for Christmas – THE P’HOGUES are able to entertain for any occasion, with their authentic covers of all The Pogues’ top hits and catchiest of tunes.
​The Pogues were a English and Irish Punk Band that played traditional and original compositions, injected with catchy hooks and head rocking enthusiasm. The band was comprised of the legendary Shane MacGowan on Vocals, Spider Stacy on the Whistle, Andrew Rankin on Drums, Terry Woods on Cittern, Darryl Hunt on Bass, Jem Finer on Banjo and James Fearnley on Accordion – but split up in 2014 after the death of their beloved guitarist, Philip Chevron.
Songs like Streams of Whiskey, Fairytale of New York, Whiskey in the Jar, Fiesta, Broad Majestic Shannon, The Irish Rover and Pair of Brown Eyes (among many, many more) – are perfect to celebrate life in general and evoke happy memories, while providing an atmosphere sure to keep the crowd merry, dancing and drinking.
​THE P’HOGUES are based in County Somerset, England and are happy to travel. This group of committed members are easily the premier Pogues tribute act within Somerset and hopefully beyond. We dress like The Pogues, we sound like The Pogues and we are all fans of The Pogues! Did we mention we play music by The Pogues!!??
​Our main goals as a band, is to both enable people to have a good time, whilst enjoying the craic ourselves. So don your flat cap, get ready to move, stock up on Guiness and Tullamore Dew…then let THE P’HOGUES do the rest!
​Sláinte! Cheers!

Ribble – two Northern men, a fiddle, a guitar, and a large beard. So far, so what? Well, add in a 90s drum synth, some mighty arrangements of meaty fiddle tunes, some songs, some wrong turns, battle scars earned busking the streets of Salisbury, a barrowload of inane banter and the feeling that your mad rum-soaked uncle is roaring at you to dance on the tables, then you’re getting close to what Ribble offer.

New Old Friends: Crimes Against Christmas
2025-12-18 19:30 - 21:30, 2025-12-17 19:30 - 21:30 | Merlin Theatre, Bath Road, Frome, BA11 2HG
Crimes Against Christmas is a hilarious comedy thriller that was named on of The Telegraph’s top 50 Christmas shows. It was featured on Radio 4’s Front Row and reached #2 in the iTunes fiction charts. The Merlin is thrilled to host its return to live performance this Christmas.
Loosely inspired by Agatha Christie’s Then There Were None, the story follows a group of strangers summoned to a remote island – only to start dying in mysteriously Christmassy (and increasingly ridiculous) ways. Can P. Artridge crack the case before a date with a noose… and a pear tree?
Just four actors bring to life over a dozen eccentric characters in this laugh-a-minute pastiche of a classic murder mystery. Expect lightning-fast costume changes, sharp wit, inventive staging, and more jokes than you can shake a candy cane at.
A sell-out hit in Bath and Lichfield, Crimes Against Christmas is the perfect antidote to the sweetness of the season. Advance booking is highly recommended.
Age guidance: 12+

Cara Dillon – Upon A Winters Night
2025-12-18 19:00 - 22:00 | Cheese and Grain, Market Yard, Frome, BA11 1BE
Cara Dillon, whose ethereal voice has long been heralded as one of the finest to emerge from Ireland’s rich folk tradition, is set to embark on her much-loved Christmas tour, Upon A Winter’s Night. Now a cherished annual event, the show has become a seasonal staple for audiences across the UK and Ireland, Cara and her band will once again capture the mystery of Christmas with a collection of songs – both ancient and modern – providing a welcome reminder that the festive season can be about more than just commercialism.
A far cry from Jingle Bells and Santa Baby, Cara will be joined by her exceptional band who weave Cel:c rhythms alongside reverent and ancient carols, offering a musical experience that feels intimate, transcendent and deeply reverent, Her voice, carrying a purity that seems to hold the darkness at bay, reminds audiences that Christmas can still be a time of quiet reflection and profound beauty.
As modest and down-to-earth as they come, Cara admits to being taken aback by the runaway success of her Upon A Winter’s Night album, which reached No. 1 on the Indie Album Charts not once, but twice, upon its release in 2016. Now, in 2025, audiences from across the country will once again have the opportunity to witness this moving celebration of the festive season–with some new songs added to the setlist.
For Dillon, Christmas is more than a holiday—it’s a passion. There is another side to Christmas…far away from Bing crooning and Noddy screaming: a space where the story of Jesus’ birth is retold with genuine wonder and celebrated with the dignity, passion and beauty it deserves. Instead, Dillon invites listeners to a place where ancient traditions are honoured, and the true meaning of the season shines through in every note.
This dedication to authenticity has defined Dillon’s illustrious career, which has seen her explore opportunities to tread many different paths – from releasing folk crossover albums on indie label Rough Trade, working on Disney soundtracks, to collaborations with leading UK dance DJ/producers – Cara has continuously chosen to firmly plant herself within the landscape of her cultural heritage.
Cara occupies a position at the very top of the folk genre. Over a career spanning 30 years, this extraordinary Irish singer has captivated audiences, won numerous awards, and achieved exceptional acclaim. Mojo magazine describes her as having “quite possibly the world’s most beautiful female voice.” Today, she remains a towering figure in the Irish folk scene, captivating both audiences and critics with her spellbinding voice and unwavering commitment to her craft.
More recently, three of her songs were featured on the hit comedy Derry Girls, and her seminal 2024 release, Coming Home, was shortlisted for “Album of the Year” at the 2024 NI Music Prize. As Upon A Winter’s Night returns once more, Dillon invites us to step away from the noise of the season and rediscover the quiet magic at its heart—an invitation that, for many, has become an essential part of Christmas itself.

The Mistletoe Bough: A Christmas Ghost Story
2025-12-16 19:30 - 21:00 | The Bennett Centre, Vicarage St, Frome, BA11 1PX, United Kingdom
Blabbermouth Community Storytelling presents an atmospheric ghost story for Christmas.
Though now largely forgotten, The Mistletoe Bough was once one of Britain’s most popular and familiar Christmas songs. Set during a Christmas wedding, the chilling tale which forms the song’s narrative has versions found across the globe, but is reputed to originate in true events said to have occurred in sixteenth century Wessex. This brand new telling of the story explores the tale’s long history, taking the audience from 1920s New York to Elizabethan England, via the battlefields of the Great War.
Join storyteller and historian Dan Broadbent for a candlelit evening of story, music, history (and mince pies), as he retells the story of the Mistletoe Bough, and explore its eerie origins.
Performance lasts approximately one hour. Suitable for adults and older children.

2025-12-13 19:00 - 22:00 | The Tree House, 35 Berkley Road, Frome, Somerset, BA11 2EH, United Kingdom
Andy Reilly, lead singer of SLADEST, launched his music journey as the entertainment manager at Pilton Working Men’s Club, booking top tribute acts like T.Rextasy and OAS-IS. In 2008, he and friends planned a one-off Slade tribute for Christmas. The show’s runaway success sparked the creation of SLADEST, bringing the unforgettable glam-rock energy of Slade to stages nationwide.
SLADEST has since rocked some of the UK’s biggest venues, including Glastonbury, where they even welcomed Michael Eavis as guest vocalist for “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” In 2021, SLADEST headlined the Slade Convention, with encore performances in 2022 and 2023, establishing themselves as the UK’s top Slade tribute.
This year, Andy and bandmate Nick bring a special acoustic set to The Crooked Billet in Henley, performing alongside Slade drummer Don Powell, Status Quo’s John Coughlan, and Radio 1’s Mike Read.
Having celebrated their 15th anniversary in 2023, SLADEST delivers high-energy shows that channel the iconic sound and spectacle of Slade. If you’re after a true glam-rock experience, SLADEST is simply unbeatable.

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.
