Glastonbury legend to play at haunted Faulkland inn
The legendary Michael Eavis will be taking his band to one of the country's only cider rooms to play a fundraiser for the local cancer hospice.
The Glastonbury Festival founder will be playing at Tucker's Grave Inn, one of only six of its type in the UK.
The pub in a village above Radstock is two hundred years old and virtually unchanged since WWI.
The bar is tiny but they have a new barn with a proper stage and that is where Michael will be performing for Dorothy House Hospice on February 15.
And why is Tucker's so named?One thought - Tucker lived there in the eighteenth century, and was refused burial in consecrated ground; some said this was because he had hanged himself in a nearby barn and was buried beside the pub, under what is now its car park.
Another darker story, that he used to murder customers for their money and bury the bodies there, and was subsequently hanged.The name is also well known in music circles - it was featured in a song by 1970's punk band The Stranglers.
Tickets on the door to the Michael Eavis event.
