SUMMARY:Battle of the Bands – Part of the Somerton Music and Arts Festival
DESCRIPTION:There’s one remaining slot left for a band to play at Somerstock during the Friday night session. So we’re pitting three bands against each other in a Battle of the Bands to take place at the Parish Rooms on Friday 19th April. The winner\, chosen by the Somerstock judges and votes received on the night\, will open Somerstock 2024\, performing first up on the Friday evening (Friday 12th July) \nThe bands battling it out for the prime slot will be: \nVetna \nVetna are a car crash between different genres and eras\, in a comfy\, compact format for your own post-modern\, liquid entertainment. A music collective founded by Lorenzo Chia and based in Bristol since 2020. \nThis act proposes a bold experimentation\, beginning with alternative rock and post-rock\, with an unmistakable 90s and 00s imprint (Radiohead\, The Dandy Warhols\, The Smashing Pumpkins\, Verdena\, Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, La Femme\, just to name a few)\, and mixing it with a powerful electronic outfit (Four Tet\, Boards Of Canada\, Crystal Castles\, Nicolas Jaar). Everything spiced up with punk attitude and a hot psychedelic vibe. \nAbsolute Zero \nFormed in 2022 with a combined age of just 32\, Absolute Zero have been wowing audiences with their youthful energy and awesome ability beyond their years. In 2023 they recorded their first EP\, available here to download\, or buy on CD. Despite their size it is clear these guys are gonna be BIG – so check them out! ‘Cos nothing is as cool as Absolute Zero!’ \nJunebug \nA fantastic up and coming band of local young musicians from Strode College. \nTickets £5.00 \nSomerstock takes place at Somerton Rec on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th July.

SUMMARY:WW2 Talks - Part of the Somerton Music and Arts Festival
DESCRIPTION:An evening of fascinating talks given by two local historians\, covering Operation Pedestal and The Great Escape\n\n\nOperation Pedestal – The Convoy that Saved Malta\na presentation by Joshua Bassett\n\n\nIn August 1942\, the Royal Navy organised a large convoy to relieve the besieged island of Malta in the mediterranean. For four days and nights the ships pressed onwards in the face of fearsome German and Italian attacks. At great cost\, crucial food and fuel supplies were delivered to the island\, saving it from surrender in the nick of time. \nThe Great Escape and The Rolex Watches\na presnetation by David Morris\nMany Allied military personnel were captured and taken prisoner of war during WW2\, with many airmen being held captive in the German camp Stalag Luft III (made famous by the film ‘The Great Escape’). Royal Navy Pilot Derek Martin\, a Devon Man\, was shot down over Norway in 1940\, taken prisoner by German Forces and spent the entire war behind the wire in Stalag Luft III.  This talk explores his story from take-off\, shoot down\, capture and time as a prisoner\, and explains how\, of all things\, Rolex wrist watches were a vital piece of escape equipment for those trying to break out\nand make a run for it. Intrigued? Come and learn more about ‘The Rolex Great Escape watches’. \nThere will be a break between the talks at 8.15. Price includes tea\, coffee and biscuits. \n\n\nTicket prices:  Early Bird £7  |  Advance £8 | On the Door £9\nhttps://somertonartsfestival.co.uk/events/ww2-talkshttps://somertonartsfestival.co.uk/events/ww2-talks/ \n

Dave’s talk covers his story\, why the Tirpitz was where it was and all about how Dave is a leading a team to recover parts from one of the crashed Barracudas that took part in the raid.\nRefreshments will be available during the break between the two talks. \nTicket prices:  Early Bird £7 | Standard £8 | On the Door £9\nTickets are on sale on line and will also be available from Stationery House in Somerton from 1st May.

SUMMARY:Could You Help a Local Child? By Fostering
DESCRIPTION:Could You Help a Local Child? \nRight now\, there is a real need for foster homes in Somerset\, so children in care can stay close to their schools\, friends\, and communities. By fostering\, you can make a life-changing difference to a child in your area\, offering them stability\, care\, and a sense of belonging. You’ll need to be aged 21 or over with a spare room in their home\, but there is no upper age limit – wisdom is a bonus. No experience is needed as foster carers receive full training and ongoing support\, including weekly payments to support them financially. If you’ve ever thought about fostering – contact our friendly team on 0800 587 9900 for a no commitment chat\, or visit www.fosteringinsomerset.org.uk to learn more. \nYou could also come along to one of our ‘Cuppa with a Carer’ events. These relaxed sessions are a great opportunity to chat with local foster carers over a coffee and slice of cake (provided free of charge) and gain a realistic insight into the challenges and rewards of fostering. \nUpcoming sessions: \n\nMonday 12th January\, 6–8pm – Lady Smith Memorial Hall and Parish Rooms\, Market Square\, Somerton TA11 7NB\nWednesday 14th January\, 6–8pm – Westlands Entertainment Venue\, Westbourne Close\, Yeovil BA20 2DD\nThursday 15th January\, 6-8pm – Wellington Community Centre\, A White Hart Lane\, Wellington TA21 8HN\n\nFor more information about upcoming events visit the Events page of the website or Facebook.
