Pete The Temp comes to The Rook Lane Chapel in Frome on 1st May to perform his much acclaimed show Romantics, Mystics and Revolutionaries.

Hear the story of two Bristol-based poets / revolutionaries who helped change the face of history. William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge have been brought back to life in this rapturous collision of ecstatic poetry and classical instruments.  Learn about the Romantic poets’ relationship to psychedelics, anti-slavery and rebellion in this intriguing journey of lyricism and laughter. This is a one-of-a-kind act of enchantment and madness from a time of slavery and war.
