The Cheese and Grain made a last-minute announcement of the concert slated for Friday 11th July as part of the festival, crashing their site with fans eager to find out more.

Toby Culff, spokesperson for 'People for Packsaddle' said: “The proceeds from this event are being donated to our local community action group, People for Packsaddle, to support us in our ongoing battle to protect the area known as Packsaddle Community Fields, in Frome, from development.

“Despite hundreds of objections and the planning application being refused by Somerset Council, the developers are taking it to an appeal. For us to fight the appeal and be represented by a full legal team comes with a significant financial cost.”
