With Moe away for the weekend and a recommendation from a friend to see the AC DC tribute act “Live Wire”, I decided to head to Frome for the Saturday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having bought a ticket for the show, I was then emailed details of another event on the same weekend – LimeHouse Lizzy. Another highly recommended tribute act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I left East Devon Friday lunchtime for a weekend of off-grid camping and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I arrived at a local “pub stopover” – The Masons Arms – on the outskirts of Frome and there were 3 or 4 vans already lined up in the car park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I received a warm welcome and a flexible offer to stay the following night as well if I couldn’t find a place in town. Parking is a problem in Frome, so this was a good offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of my stay, the pub had suspended its food service, so I enjoyed a pint before walking the half hour or so into Frome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following evening, all of the sites I was looking to stay at in town were full, so I extended my stay at the Masons Arms for a second night. This time, I was the only van on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday night was the Thin Lizzy tribute band – Limehouse Lizzy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday I drove to Chew Valley lake and spent time walking around the body of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday night was a return to the Cheese and Grain music venue in Frome. The venue is the largest music venue in Somerset with a standing capacity of around 800. It was built in 1874 as an indoor market for farm produce with secondary use as a community hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight, it played host to arguably the best AC DC tribute band – Live Wire. They did not disappoint. Having first seen AC DC as a teenager in Birmingham, 1979, this show was an authentic and very loud tribute to AC DC. It was a fantastic evening – for me, this kind of venue is much better for experiencing live music than the big stadia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
