Hi Everyone

We'd like to say a massive, king size, humungous THANK YOU to all our volunteers for all their work not just on the day of Here Comes The Sun, but in the weeks and months leading up to it.  Also a long-running cascade of thanks to all the bands & performers who made such a fantastic line-up, and also to everyone who came through our gates last weekend.  It was a fantastic day all round 

Anyway, we have just one event for delectation and entertainment this weekend, it's on Saturday and it just happens to be BANDORAMA

The third saturday of the month?  The third saturday of the month at a certain venue in Reading? Surely that means another helping of one of the best band nights in town.  Not only can you expect an abundance of free cake and shizzle, but there's even some bands playing...

BURNT TOMORROW
Burnt Tomorrow are one seriously tasty band.  They number three.  And they have a nice line in forward thinking folk punk.  They really, really do have great songs.

An ideal tonic for fans of Frank Turner/Flogging Molly/Bruce Springsteen/Zac Brown Band.

By the way, their new album is called 'Fractured Time'

BEAR WOODS
Dealing in some quality anti-folk punknroll, Bear is a local living and walking legend.  One man and his beard or one man and his guitar.  Either way it works!

OCEAN RUINS
Like Patti Smith eating very cold ice cream on a sunny hot day.  Recently won the demo panel on BBC Berkshire Introducing.

We're open at 8pm.and it'll cost you £5 on the door or £4 in advance from www.wegottickets.co.uk

STAND UP CINEMA, MILONGA SIMPATICA and FIESTA LATINA are taking a little rest til next month

That's everything for another weekend, just to remind you that you can find us at 30 Silver Street, Reading, RG1 2ST  (If you put us in your Google or Sat Nav, we shall magically appear)
