Bakers Coacheswho are they?

BAKERS COACHES are a local family run business operating out of Yeovil. Thomas Baker started with taxis then Barry Baker bought the garage in Bishops Caundle where he diversified into the coaching industry in 1972 and he gained school contracts and private hires for numerous schools and groups and thrived. He and his wife then moved into new premises in Yeovil in 1974 where they still operate from today.

In 2000 Barry retired from Bakers Coaches and the mantle was passed over to his son Shane and nephew Andrew. Having survived COVID and the fuel crisis they decided to diversify again but this time by providing day trips and holidays which it’s hoped people will join them on and really enjoy.

Great Quotes in Music (145)

"Jeff Beck is compelled by his inner artistic drive to keep evolving the instrument. He'll use the whammy bar with the volume knob and the tone control all at the same time - creating harmonics that no human being should be able to hit."

- Steve Vai
