Frome singer songwriter Sara Vian came in to FromeFM with her guitar and performed three songs, which you can hear on this week’s Rebellious Jukebox show. You can also hear Sara talk about what shes been up to since the launch of her album, Beautiful Soul, in 2016, including the setting up of the Frome Music Industry Network. This is a monthly networking event for musicians and all industries loosely connected with the music business, held upstairs at the Three Swans in King Street, Frome, on the fourth Thursday of the month.

The Rebellious Jukebox, presented by Julian Crawley. Thursday evenings from 8.00 until 9.00, repeated Sunday evening at 10.00.

This week’s Rebellious Jukebox is a Garage Rock special, and Julian’s guest in the studio is Bruno Wilkinson, presenter of Frome FM show BOMP Radio Hour. Bruno is the font of all knowledge when it comes to all things garage band, proto-punk and outsider-weirdness.
Tune in to hear Rebellious Jukebox meets BOMP Radio: lots of trashy guitars, blown out amps, cheap organs and fuzz boxes, and to see if Julian can find a track that Bruno can’t identify!
