Slate Trio
Slate Trio are back - one of the grooviest and coolest bands to do a Saturday night here. Neil Smith ( This Is the Kit, Milan, Brackish) and compatriots Matthew Jones ( drums ), Alex Heane (bass) perform original tunes with elements of psych, jazz, motorik, African & systems mus…
Lucious band - this review pretty much says it all - and Bar Lotte, what a great name.
'Another great night of music at Bar Lotte for the Frome Festival. The Slate Trio consists of Neil Smith and his incredible guitar playing, Matthew Jones who is a fantastic drummer who knows his way round some seriously complex timings and Alex Heane, who i haven't heard till last night, on Double Bass, solid, joyful and energetic.

Review of Slate Trio by Emma Hannam from when they played Frome Festival.
This is a free entry gig, and we a you to ‘Pay What You Feel’, ideally notes and not coppers. But you are free to just come and enjoy the music.
