A local radio boss remembers the day The Stranglers came to the Cheese & Grain as the band mourn the loss of their keyboard player
Who remembers when The Stranglers came to town?
Radio host Dom Chambers was delighted to have interviewed the band the day before they played Glastonbury Festival in 2010.
He spoke to them at the Cheese & Grain.
Earlier this week The Stranglers keyboard player, Dave Greenfield, who was responsible for some of their greatest hits, and joined the band in 1975, died aged 71 after contracting coronavirus.
Dom, who is the boss at Somer Valley radio said: " He was an integral member of an awesome band. Hearing their album Rattus Norvegicus as an 11 year old opened up a musical adventure from which I never returned. Years later I met him and found him gentle and unassuming. I also found the band were up for a laugh. Hence this picture taken in Frome's Cheese n' Grain the day before they played Glastonbury."
You can listen to Somer Valley FM on line, with the station, serving Midsomer Norton and Radstock, running a bigger service during coronavirus than ever before.
