Frome locals have a "rare opportunity" to see a global drum & bass DJ and producer superstar up close and personal next month.

The iconic Goldie will be taking a break from his 30 YEARS OF METALHEADZ tour dates to play a very special debut set at the Cheese & Grain this November.

The first superstar produced by the breakbeat jungle movement, Goldie popularised drum & bass as a form of musical expression and has gone to become one of the most influential artists in dance music over the past 30 years.

Goldie soared to prominence in 1995 with the ground-breaking album, 'Timeless,' widely hailed as one of the most crucial electronic releases ever.

Having sold millions of records worldwide, Goldie has sustained a hugely successful career spanning over three decades.

And locals can see Goldie in person on Saturday 2 November at Cheese & Grain.

Known throughout the music industry as the "King of Jungle", Goldie is an artist whose ferocious creativity knows no bounds, founding the major Drum 'n' Bass label 'Metalheadz,' later stepping into acting roles for major blockbuster films, including James Bond – 'The

World Is Not Enough' and Guy Ritchie's, 'Snatch'.

At the turn of the decade, Price received two honorary academic achievements, courtesy of Brunel University (in Social Sciences) and the University of Wolverhampton, where he became an honorary Doctor of Design. He was knighted as a Member of the British Empire (MBE) not long after, for services to music and young people.

With it, he became one of few electronic musicians to ever achieve such an award.

He produced official remixes for two globally-known pop stars, on Ed Sheeran's Lego House (2017) and Jessie Ware's Midnight (2018); he released his third studio album, The Journey Man, the likes of which drew reviews from several British newspapers, including The Times and The Guardian (2017); he collaborated with UK rap icon Skepta, on Upstart (2018); and he formed Subjective, a collaborative project with fellow drum and bass producer Submotive.

The duo released their first album on Sony Music in 2020, with a second album set for release later this year.

His DJ achievements have been similarly successful.

He began a seven-week residency at long-running London nightclub XOYO, selling out the venue multiple times in the process; he performed at global festival stages, including Glastonbury (UK), Tomorrowland (Belgium) and Primavera Sound (Spain); and he ventured into the classical music realm, hosting and performing full orchestral shows at two of London's premiere concert halls: the Royal Albert Hall and Southbank Centre.

This show is presented by local promoters Gorilla Tactics & GM3 Music.
