Crown Inn


We're playing at the Crown in Frome town centre on thurs. The band has a history with the venue we used to have a Sunday residency there for a while back in the day and did a gig there on the night of Chas and Di's wedding (Bunce was grounded and had to escape down a drainpipe from his bedroom window to make the date).

We did a farewell party there when a former landlord left - there was a food fight and an argument about a lock-in which precipitated a mini riot through the town centre - Police were involved as Ivan and I calmly watched from a second storey window whilst drinking free ale.

The Somerset Standard at the time quoted the Police as saying "as the fight rolled down Bath St it was like a scene from the film Zulu".

It was so long ago the town centre probably resembled the above pic.

Happy days.
