irst a spot of sad news for those looking forward to the Sat in a Field festival. Just as we were going to press we heard from the organisers that the event was being cancelled. Putting on a festival is an expensive and risky business, so they made the decision to pull out now before they lost too much money. It’s a brave move, and we wish the organisers all the very best for the future.

On the positive side though, we’ve got a cracking issue for you. You can find out first about Shepton’s new radio show, get all the info on the Rubbish Art Project, and check out the biggest Events guide we think we’ve ever done. As always, hope you enjoy the mag, and see you all again next month.

So many new tracks are being released this summer that I can hardly keep up! Lee Rahn, Last One Home and Cosmic Ninja are some of the many musicians adding to the summer listening list. Links to all of these can be found on my website: www.georgiethejourno.uk.

If you are looking for quality music to get you through your day then I recommend checking out their new music.

Rock Against Cancer promoter Max James has just announced a heavy gig at the King Arthur for October. Over the past few years Max has organised some incredible events to raise money including the up-and-coming shindig at The Victoria Club in Street on September 1. I will keep you up to date on both of these events.

The Venue in Wells are back with their monthly Sunday sessions, and the first one is Liam Howard on July 7. This normally kicks off at 6.30pm. Entry is free but a small donation is welcome for the musicians. It’s a fun, relaxed and easy Sunday afternoon, and these events will be held on every second Sunday of the month.

Finally, I have to get another shout out to Last One Home who are on fire right now. Not only are they lovely guys but their music really is going places, with recent support slots with Crazy Town. Please make sure you check them out, as we confidently predict that in a year’s time they will be a household name.

WE HAVE A WINNER! Each year we as a community are given a fantastic reminder of the quality and sheer talent we have in the local area. The GFM songwriting competition, founded by presenter Ian Liversidge, has been the breeding ground for many bands and musicians who have been offered a range of prizes. This year the pool of entries gave the judges an even tougher decision than ever before.

With such a wide variety in finalists, it was up to the six judges to make those all-important decisions. The overall winner of the Ben Kench Trophy was Maaike Siegerist, who impressed the panel with her delicate tones and pure songwriting skills, a strong runner up were local rockers Last One Home who rounded off the evening with a rather energetic and memorable performance.

High-profile local artists have facilitated and inspired the community arts workshops that are taking place at ‘The Art Bank’– the old HSBC bank on Shepton Mallet’s High Street and now the home of The Rubbish Art Project. A ‘Shepton Sheep’ made from recycled materials in a children’s workshop run by artist Fiona Campbell will be displayed in the town centre in coming weeks, as well as a giant ‘disco’ polar bear made from old DVDs and CDs that will raise awareness of plastic pollution in the oceans.

Mandy Briggs said, “We would love to hear from local businesses who might want to donate waste materials or partner with us to create art installations for the town. We have some new exciting workshops for children and adults coming up and we’re looking forward to displaying our creations in the run up to and during Somerset Arts Week.”

local group is on a mission to turn Shepton Mallet’s plastic waste into art sculptures for an outdoor exhibition throughout Shepton Mallet during Somerset Arts Week. Co-founders of The Rubbish Art Project, Lucy Smith and Mandy Briggs, who met while working at Glastonbury Festival, are raising awareness around plastic waste and encouraging people to ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’.

As a community recycled art initiative inspiring social change, the project’s aim is for Shepton Mallet to become the first town to turn their plastic waste into art while making reductions to the volume of plastic that goes to landfill.

Bringing together all parts of the local community, from young children to elderly residents, the project runs workshops with local artists that create educational and inspirational art installations using recycled and donated materials from residents and local businesses.

Lucy Smith said, “The Rubbish Art Project’s ethos is to build on the community spirit of Shepton Mallet, bringing everyone together and transforming the town centre into a unique and vibrant creative arts market town that will attract locals, tourists and art

THE RETURN OF THE KING

Wells Theatre Company are once again bringing the Bard’s work to The Bishop’s Palace with one of Shakespeare’s most powerful dramas, King Lear

F

ollowing the success of last year’s critically acclaimed debut production of Hamlet, Wells Theatre Company is returning to The Bishop’s Palace to perform another Shakespeare masterpiece: King Lear. Neil Howiantz plays Lear, and the production is directed by Edgar Phillips.

The play will again be performed in Promenade, a format which proved such a hit with residents and visitors. In the first act, the audience walks with the actors from scene to scene through the rooms and grounds of the Palace while enjoying the dramatic action.

inside. There is a maximum capacity of 180 per night, so theatregoers are advised to book early to avoid disappointment.

There are showings on July 12, 13 and 15, and tickets are available by calling 01749 988111, heading online to www.ticketsource.co.uk/ thebishopspalace or directly from the Palace shop.

This production of King Lear is part of the Wells Theatre Festival, which runs from July 12-15. For more information on other events at the Festival, head to wellstheatrefestival.org.

A kingdom divided King Lear has ruled over Britain for many years. As age and ill judgement overtake him, he divides his kingdom among his three greedy and conniving daughters. Misjudging their loyalty, he finds himself stripped of all the trappings of state, wealth and power that had defined him.

Shakespeare’s Lear is undoubtedly one of his supreme achievements, particularly noted for its observations on the nature of human suffering and kinship. As George Bernard Shaw wrote, “No man will ever write a better tragedy than Lear.”

This year you can pre-book a delicious BBQ prepared by The Bishop’s Table at a supplement of just £5.50. Bring a picnic rug or low-backed camping chair to comfortably enjoy the second act in the historic gardens.

In the event of the weather being a bit too British, both acts will be performed

BACK TO THE JUNGLE

N

ext month will see the House of El return for the second of their Throwback Sessions at Bocabar, Glastonbury. This very special occasion will be a journey back to what is probably the most influential era of UK dance music, celebrating the wonder years of UK Garage and Jungle. Both of these British genres produced many pioneers who have gone on to find major success such as Goldie, Roni Size, MJ Cole and Artful Dodger.

So, back to the early 90s we go to celebrate this amazing era of British music.

The event will see the return of Glastonbury hometown favourite, DJ Fivestack. Fivestack spent years playing on pirate radio, and eventually ended up running his own station: Buzz Fm. He is currently helping to run the highly successful Globaldnb.com, with a regular show now every Friday 6-8pm.

In addition to Fivestack there will also be a second special guest, coming all the way from London: DJ Son, a classic Garage connoisseur who is looking forward to bringing back the London underground scene for this joyous occasion.

So mark the date: Saturday, July 28. Tickets are available in advance for only ÂŁ6 from www.redbrickbuilding.co.uk or ÂŁ8 on the door.

JURASSIC WORLD EVOLUTION

RELEASED

3 JUL

The two Insane Games shops, which are located in St. Cuthbert Street, Wells and the Crispin Centre, Street, are the best gaming stores around, with helpful and knowledgeable staff that are always on hand to help find the perfect game for you.

Not only do they have a wide selection of the latest games but also a massive range of used titles for both the current gaming machines and also the classic consoles, too.

FROM: Frontier Developments FORMATS: PS4, Xbox One

D

id you ever watch any of the Jurassic Park or Jurassic World films and think ‘Yeah, I could do better than that’? Well now’s your chance, as Jurassic World Evolution – perfectly timed to coincide with the new Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom film – is your opportunity to build and run your very own dinosaur park.

Taking its cues from classic games such as Zoo Tycoon and Theme Park, you build your park, create the dinosaurs and then manage it on a day-to-day basis. The graphical animations of the dinosaurs themselves are amazing, and the wonderful Jeff Goldblum reprises his role of Dr. Ian Malcolm once again to add authenticity. A deep and massively fun game.

SPOTLIGHT

S.P.A SINGLE SOCIAL GROUP

Meeting new people can be difficult when you’re on your own, but a group based in the South West is helping to bring single people together

S

.P.A is a not-for-profit Singles Social Group that has been established for over 40 years. They are run by their members for their members, and their mandate is to help people who are single, sociably active and aged 40-plus to get more out of life by providing a warm, welcoming social environment in which they can make new friends and join in a wide variety of interesting events and activities. As single people themselves, they know how difficult it can be for some people to approach new groups and go to social events by themselves.

There are six S.P.A branches across the South West, and the local Wells and Mendip group are an energetic and enthusiastic branch who enjoy organised events including a weekly Social Evening.

They do so much, including meals out, skittle evenings, music nights and dancing. They go for walks to suit all levels with lunches/brunches, National Trust visits, cinema, weekends away and longer holidays.

Some of their upcoming events include…

July 12 – The Defibulators playing in Somerton July 14 – S.P.A Summer party in Loxton July 15 – A walk up ‘Crooks Peak’ July 18 – A day out in Weymouth by train So there’s no need to be lonely! Come and meet the group at Tramways, West St, Wells on a Tuesday night at 8pm. Head to www.spasinglesocialgroup. co.uk for more information, or contact Jackie on 07908 864914.

Low voids, guaranteed rent and a great service.

We are a ‘not for profit’ agency, providing a comprehensive letting and management service for landlords and tenants in Mendip.

left known as Jacob’s Ladder. As the road curves around, turn right into Wick Hollow. Alice Buckton’s route continues into Paradise Lane, and then onto a footpath which no longer exists. Instead, turn right into Bulwark’s Lane, and then either left at the footpath, following the signs to Glastonbury Tor, if you want to walk across it, or follow the road to Wellhouse Lane, turning right if you want to bypass the Tor. You will arrive at the Red and White Springs where you may partake of the waters if you wish.

Turn right into Chilkwell Street, and then left into Bere Lane. Where the main road turns sharp right at Fisher’s Hill, cross carefully and go straight ahead into Hill Head. At the top of the hill there is a gate on your right, go through this and walk over Wearyall Hill past the Holy thorn(s). The path emerges into The Roman Way. Turn right, and cross the main road via the crossing on Pomparle’s Bridge for safety.

Make your way back to your starting point to enjoy a well-earned drink at the Bocabar.

Go straight on over St Bride’s Mound (Beckery Island) to the kissing gate in the left-hand hedge, and walk towards the river Brue. You should’ve arrived at St Bride’s Well – marked by a seat and a Glastonbury Thorn tree. We are following the route described in the early 1900s by the Chalice Well founder Alice Mary Buckton, as her suggested Glastonbury pilgrimage.

Turn right to walk along the right-hand river bank to Porchestall Drove, then turn right along the Drove. Snow’s Timber Yard is built on a site of archaeological interest previously known as The Mount, which was levelled to make way for it.

Proceed across the mini roundabout, and over the bypass into Benedict Street. You’ll then arrive in Glastonbury with the Market Cross on your left.

Continue up Glastonbury High Street past the Tribunal on your left and St John’s Church further along. At the top of the High Street, cross over into Bove Town, passing the steps on your
