Frome Museum volunteer and author Mick Davis, along with Valerie Pitt, has published a book on the history of all the lost pubs in the town, following a hugely successful exhibition in 2014

It's published by Akeman Press at 58 Minster Way, Bath BA2 6RL (info@akemanpress.com) and is available from them for £10 post free or from Frome Museum, 1 North Parade, open from 10am to 2pm Tuesday to Saturday; The Hunting Raven, Cheap Street, on 01373 473 111, and from Frome's more discerning ale houses.
It would make a great Christmas present!

Just in case the exhibition on Frome's history doesn't feature any proof readers I thought I'd supply my own photo of me doing it back in the 80s.

Something I am pretty excited about and spotted by Michael James on my Monmouth Rebellion FB group is this series which is getting the DVD reissue treatment! It has an excellent story and is well worth getting. The Sedgemoor episode was especially good but then I was an impressionable child when I saw it.  Do you remember it?

new Bad Detectives album

"The Bad Detectives are hard to pigeon-hole and that's a good thing right?
In their 10 year recording history with Western Star the band have recorded 5 albums and appeared on numerous compilations. Their music has often popped up on TV shows and the band seems to get a lot of airplay. With a world-wide cult following The Bad Detectives amble along, seemingly unaware of their popularity. We're proud to have them on Western Star!
