Firecast 010: Writer Crysse Morrison talks Frome

Campfire Convention Firecasts

“When the revolution comes, it will start here”
That’s a quote from the Guardian’s magazine’s 'Let’s Move to…' feature about Frome, the independent-minded Somerset market town that is in the spotlight.
In the latest firecast from Campfire Convention, Pete Lawrence (a recently inducted Froomie) renews acquaintances with writer Crysse Morrison, one of the first people he met in Frome, who has spent months putting together a definitive and enormously entertaining book about the town’s history, heritage, the people that have made it what it is and it’s passion for non-conformist creativity which comes in many shapes and sizes.
Everywhere you look, it would seem, the town seems to be in the spotlight with Harpers Bazaar describing it as “the UK’s most stylish town” and the Sunday Times suggesting the town has reinvented itself as “an artsy, foodie hipster haven”
Local writer from Devizes Darren Warrow, sees 'Funky freewheeling Frome’ s organised community as “creating a distinctiveness and liberal attitude which makes Brighton look like North Korea".
Frome is a vibrant place to live and Crysse's new book ‘Frome Unzipped’ is its essential guide.
