So where did Frome's folkies go 50 years ago? The Village Punp. I got taken there a few times. In a outbuilding of a pub the Lamb. There was a band called Mechanical Horsetrough that did a song the Village Pump - 'the Village P-U-M-P pump you buggers pump'. My favourite was a duo Strange Fruit who did Sonny Boy Williamson tunes. I was already a trainee harmonica player. There was a festival in a Marquee. Still going. You can read about its history here
