Fracking is where fluids are pumped underground at high pressure to fracture rocks to release trapped gas for extraction as fuel.

The group and its many supporters believe fracking poses serious threats to public health and the environment including the dangerous contamination of our water supply, the leakage of methane – a potent greenhouse gas – in to the atmosphere, and the contamination of agricultural land and animals.

The Frack Free Somerset fundraiser us due to get under way at 8pm.

Entertainment includes new Bristol band Ushti Baba, who play a mix of acoustic British and Eastern European folk music fused with contemporary beats.

    “"Entertainment includes new Bristol band Ushti Baba, who play a mix of acoustic British and Eastern European folk music fused with contemporary beats."

    Thanks, but I'll take a rain check on the gypsy drum and bass above, however...

    I support the hedge monkeys on this one.

    Fracking is a pretty cynical and harmful practice.

    It is very harmful and exploitive the natural resources that belong to the earth.

    Totally unnecessary.”
