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.

Frome has been home to several printers and this exhibition will highlight the importance of the town’s printing industry over time, with particular emphasis on the town’s most high profile colour book printing company of Butler and Tanner.

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?

from Bernard's collection is this original - sold quite a few around and about

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!
