The Cheese and Grain are delighted to announce that International folk star Cara Dillon has joined Emily Eavis as a Patron of the Cheese & Grain.

The Irish singer-songwriter, who resides in Frome, came along for a tour of the new Bert Jansch studio at the Cheese and Grain on Thursday 19th September with Glastonbury Festival co-organiser Emily Eavis, who has been the venues patron since 2009.

The Patrons were shown around the studio by Paddy Higgins who works as a Live Events Management Apprentice for the Cheese & Grain/Young Somerset.

Tracey Rawlins, Marketing Manager commented, “We are absolutely thrilled to have Cara Dillon as an additional patron. She regularly performs at the venue and her concerts are always a delight, she also spoke at our International Womens Conference in the spring. Cara is talented, charming and enthusiastic and will be a brilliant ambassador for our venue. To have Cara as well as Emily Eavis connected with our venue is a real asset.”
