SUMMARY:Elusive Eric by Jane Hughes - author talk
DESCRIPTION:Jane Hughes will be talking with friend and author\, Felice Hardy\, about Jane’s new book\, ‘Elusive Eric’.\nAn old box containing a few family mementos included a photograph of a handsome young man\, named Eric\, dated 1935. On its reverse Eric had written a message to his sister. Even though it was known that he was a close relative\, no one knew anything about him. And so the quest began to discover his story – one of separation\, bravery\, recklessness – a gripping story of a young man’s determination to combat forces beyond his control. \nA poignant story of forced adoption\, the importance of home\, belonging\, and its generational repercussions. \nThe event is free but booking a place is essential – please book via this link. \nThis free author talk will take place in the Naval room\, upstairs at the Archangel and is organised by the Frome Writers Collective.\nDoors 7pm\nTalk 7.30-9pm

SUMMARY:John Bramwell – Live At The Tree House
DESCRIPTION:“There’s a line in the E.E. Cummings poem Somewhere I Have Never Travelled\, Gladly Beyond — ‘No one\, not even the rain\, has such small hands’ — which I once paraphrased to ‘Nothing can wash this away\, not even the rain.’ I’ve always loved that sense of mystery and magic… I’ve never been a realist.” – John Bramwell\, 2026 \nAs the voice of I Am Kloot (1999–2014)\, John Bramwell earned a Mercury Prize nomination for The Sky At Night (2010)\, a Top 10 album with Let It All In (2013)\, and a farewell orchestral show at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. \nNow pursuing a solo path\, Bramwell continues to tour extensively\, bringing his heartfelt songs and razor-sharp wit to devoted audiences across the UK. \nHis acclaimed 2023 album The Light Fantastic marked a joyful departure from Kloot’s darker tone\, embracing harmonies\, strings\, and uplifting reflections on life and humanity. “These are the most uplifting songs of my career\,” Bramwell says. \nCelebrated for his captivating live performances and warm\, mischievous humour\, Bramwell remains one of the UK’s most distinctive songwriters. In 2025\, God Is In The TV called his Beautiful Days set “the highlight of the weekend.” \nLooking ahead to 2026\, Bramwell embarks on an expansive tour of Ireland and the UK\, continuing his remarkable musical journey. \nPraise for The Light Fantastic\n“Beautiful harmonies.” – CLASH\n“Wonderfully grown-up pop.” – ★★★★ MOJO\n“Hazy\, purposeful\, and very pretty.” – ★★★★ The Times\n“A splendid solo set.” – UNCUT \nPrevious Acclaim\n“A unique voice.” – Lauren Laverne\n“Spellbinding songs.” – The Guardian\n“My favourite songwriter of all time.” – Cate Blanchett\n“The UK’s finest export.” – The New York Times \nPlease note this is an all-standing 18+ event\, and the venue is accessed by stairs with no lift.

Slow Sundays at 42 Acres Retreat are all about connection – with yourself\, with others\, and with nature.\nWild swimming\, a wood-fired sauna\, woodland walks\, and incredible food grown on the land itself – all shared around a long table in the woods\, with birdsong overhead and an eclectic mix of people from all walks of life. It’s a really well-thought-out setup. Simple\, but intentional. The team were welcoming\, knowledgeable (beavers\, storks\, permaculture\, mushroom farms\, soil-to-gut) and clearly passionate about what they’re building. This was their first Slow Sunday- here’s to many more!’\nLynda\, Slow Sunday Guest\, June 2025. \n‘A group of 6 of us attended 42Acres Slow Sunday and we all throughly enjoyed ourselves. The land is beautiful\, with lots of lovely quiet trails to walk and soak it all up. We even spotted storks\, buzzards and believe we may have accidentally bumped into a wild boar too. The setting for lunch is fabulous. Really cosy atmosphere and delicious food. Some of us even jumped in the lake for a quick swim which was really refreshing.’\nLucy\, Slow Sunday Guest\, August 2025 \n‘Beautiful experience of reconnection to people\, place and soul.’\nSara\, Slow Sunday Guest\, August 2025. \nPlease Note:\n– Must be booked in advance.

SUMMARY:EMF
DESCRIPTION:“EMF are a band reborn. The power of their reunion albums\, combined with their obvious camaraderie\, makes their shows something to treasure. As life-affirming live as they are on record\, make sure you catch EMF in person.” – Sonic Abuse\, 2024 \nFormed in 1989 in the quiet town of Cinderford\, EMF burst onto the global stage with their infectious mix of dance\, rock\, and pop. Within a year\, they conquered the charts with “Unbelievable\,” a generation-defining hit. \nTheir debut Schubert Dip (1991) captured their raw\, genre-bending sound\, followed by Stigma (1992) and Cha Cha Cha (1995)\, which delved into darker territory before the band took a break. Along the way\, they released a hit cover of The Monkees’ “I’m a Believer” with comedians Vic and Bob. \nDuring their hiatus\, members pursued new paths — James Atkin went solo and taught music\, Ian Dench became an acclaimed songwriter and executive\, Derry Brownson launched Little Killers\, and Zac Foley joined Carrie. \nA 2001 reunion for The Best of EMF: Epsom Mad Funkers hinted at a full comeback\, but Zac’s sudden passing in 2002 halted plans. Sporadic shows followed\, including a 2012 live video revisiting Schubert Dip and Stigma. \nIn 2020\, EMF truly reignited with the 30th-anniversary box set From Us to You. Renewed inspiration led to Go Go Sapiens (2022) and the acclaimed The Beauty and the Chaos (2024)\, solidifying their modern resurgence. \nIn 2025\, a blue plaque in Cinderford honoured their legacy — a symbol of the pride they bring to the Forest of Dean. Now\, EMF are not just back\, they’re thriving. Still creating\, still touring\, and still charged with the same life-affirming energy that made them unforgettable.

SUMMARY:Livewire AC/DC
DESCRIPTION:AC/DC\, arguably the greatest rock band of all time\, are brought to life by Live/Wire with the true passion you would expect from professional musicians who share your love of this legendary live act. They deliver a critically acclaimed High Voltage two hour rock ’n’ roll set with not only cannons and a full bank of Marshall amps but a journey that takes fans from one of the best-selling albums of all time ‘Back in Black’ through to the 2020 release ‘PWR UP’\, with a healthy dose of the classics from the Bon Scott era. \nLive/Wire combines the vocal power of Podge Blacksmith as Brian Johnson\, the virtuoso talent of Simon Davies as Angus Young and metronome-like accuracy of Dan Mosley as Malcolm Young. The line-up is completed by Eddie Clark as long time bassist Cliff Williams and James Last providing the Phil Rudd like groove from behind the kit. \nNow in their 28th year\, Live/Wire put the audience right in the middle of a live experience comparable to that only AC/DC themselves produce. We invite AC/DC fans to join us\, sing with us and relive some of those classic AC/DC concerts of the past on our very own Highway to Hell.

SUMMARY:China Crisis
DESCRIPTION:The early 1980s saw a second Liverpool music renaissance\, with China Crisis emerging in 1981 from Kirkby as the songwriting duo Gary Daly (vocals/keyboards) and Eddie Lundon (guitar/vocals). Influenced by Bowie\, Stevie Wonder\, Eric Satie and Brian Eno\, they quickly developed a unique sound—blending synthpop with reggae\, country\, horns\, strings\, and more—working with producers like Mike Howlett\, Langer/Winstanley and Steely Dan’s Walter Becker. \nThe band achieved three UK Top 40 albums and eleven UK Top 50 singles\, including “Wishful Thinking\,” “Christian\,” “Black Man Ray\,” and “King in a Catholic Style\,” while building a loyal fanbase that endures today. Their music continues to reach new audiences\, sampled by artists like French Montana and Action Bronson\, and featured in films and TV such as Gone Girl and Sex Education. \nChina Crisis have toured worldwide for over four decades. Their 2015 fan-funded album Autumn in the Neighbourhood marked a celebrated return to form and will be relaunched in 2025. In 2024\, they released China Greatness\, a reimagined collection of songs from their 42-year catalogue\, produced with Grammy-winner Mark Phythian and featuring new orchestral arrangements\, earning their highest-ever chart position at No. 5 on the UK Vinyl Album Chart. \nRenowned for engaging live shows that mix music with trademark Scouse humour\, China Crisis remain a cherished and relevant band\, still connecting with fans old and new.

SUMMARY:Spring Reading Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Join us this spring for our first reading retreat in the gorgeous setting of Vallis Farm in Somerset. \nThis isn’t a traditional retreat full of activities\, but rather a morning simply spent with other book lovers reading together. Slow down\, take a moment with a book you love and enjoy a morning with other people who can’t imagine a better way to spend a couple of hours. \nWhether you come on your own or with a friend\, you’ll leave with a sense of relaxation that can only come from a few hours offline\, outside and with others who are similarly losing themselves in imaginary worlds. \nThis reading retreat offers: \n– A digital detox (your phone stays in your pocket or bag) \n– A chance to read uninterrupted\, in a cosy setting \n– A way to be with others\, to get out of the house and take a break from work \n– A moment to rest if you’re feeling burnt out\, stressed or overwhelmed \nWhat to bring: \n– A book (or two) you’d love to read \n– Something to sit on (a cushion\, blanket\, or folding chair) \n– Weather-appropriate clothing (if its rainy we’ll get cosy in the farmhouse\, if the sun is shining\, we’ll spread out across the farm) \nWe’ll take care of the rest — including a few small\, thoughtful touches to make the morning feel quietly magical. \nReading isn’t just one of our favourite ways to spend time. It’s also proven to: \n– Lower stress levels and heart rate \n– Improve attention span and memory \n– Enhance empathy and emotional resilience \n– Offer our brains a deep\, restorative form of rest \nWhen we read in community\, we also experience the benefits of shared presence\, which also supports our mental wellbeing. \nThis event is part of our wider mission at If Lost Start Here to help people better connect\, with themselves\, others and the world around them. \nReady to book your place? Reserve Your Spot Now \nThis event takes place on Vallis Farm’s Community Day. If you’re a member\, you can get access to the sauna and natural swimming pool. 10% discount for members. \nYou can also become a Member and take advantage of these benefits here. \nWe want this to be accessible. If price is a barrier\, get in touch — we’ll always try to make space

SUMMARY:Doreen Doreen
DESCRIPTION:Step into the vibrant world of Doreen Doreen\, where every performance is a kaleidoscope of glitter\, glamour\, and unbridled entertainment. Born in the heart of Bristol’s eclectic music scene\, Doreen Doreen emerged in 1982 as a dynamic force of creativity and flair. \nForget everything you know about typical 10-piece cover bands; Doreen Doreen is a breed apart. Our lineup boasts some of Bristol’s finest musical talent\, delivering a red-hot backline that sets the stage on fire. Upfront\, a cacophony of voices—ranging from angelic to rock god—takes you on a wild ride of harmonies that teeter on the edge of chaos\, but always land squarely on fabulous. \nBut it’s not just about the music—it’s the unexpected twists and turns that define a Doreen Doreen performance. We’re the masters of incongruity\, seamlessly blending Abba with Queen\, Eurythmics with Erasure\, and even Adele with The Beatles. It’s a musical journey you won’t find anywhere else. \nPrepare to be swept away by the sheer fun\, mayhem\, and frivolity of a night in our company. From start to finish\, we guarantee you’ll be on your feet\, dancing like there’s no tomorrow. And when the music finally fades\, you’ll find yourself craving more\, already planning your next Doreen Doreen experience. \nWith Doreen Doreen\, seeing is believing. Join us for a spectacle like no other\, and discover why our fans keep coming back for more.
