Frome
Cider Festival 'A Success!'
Friday
15th June saw The Mangledwurzels provide
the entertainment for the 1st Frome Cider Festival
held at the Cheese
& Grain. Over 300 cider fans filled the
venue to partake in a selection from over 60 ciders and
perrys at the bar - and to be serenaded by Hedge and the
lads who performed a top class set on the night. Organiser
Chris Lilley pronounced the night 'a success', and insiders
report that there is a good chance of a 2nd Frome Cider
Festival taking place in 2008.
The
festival is the third in a series of cider festivals run
by CiderFestivals.co.uk,
the brainchild of Bath Pavilion Catering Manager Chris Lilley.
Following the outstanding success of the Bath Cider Festival
at the Pavilion in February, Chris has now arranged two
similar festivals at Brighton and Frome, with a fourth planned
for Friday 29th and Saturday 30th June at St. Andrews' &
Blackfriars Hall in Norwich. The Mangledwurzels have proved
to be an integral part of the festival much appreciated
by the festival goers; and the band has already signed up
to any future events.
