Hi Everyone

We hope you all had a very, merry Christmas and that your New Year has been quite pleasant thus far

(Chelsea or Arsenal fans might want to ignore that last bit!)

Also, thanks to those of you who, despite the lack of any bands playing, still made it down to the Rising Sun on New Year's Eve to bid farewell to one year and see in another!   There shall be a place for you with us in Paradise!

We have just the one event for your delectation this weekend.  On Saturday lunchtime we bring you the very first CLASSICAL FOR CHARITY of 2015!

Classical For Charity is a series of classical and jazz concerts at The Rising Sun Arts Centre, performed by local musicians and hosted by local pianist and piano teacher Maija Tuomi-Nikula.

Come and support us by enjoying top-quality, rarely heard music in a great, relaxed atmosphere without having to pay enormous ticket prices! This time the proceeds will be split between The Rising Sun Arts Centre and Age UK Berkshire

A new year with Classical For Charity starts with this wonderful, unique concert of mainly Spanish piano and guitar music. Our main performer,JONNY OWENS, has already made an excellent career as a guitarist and he kindly agreed to play in the January edition of CFC, after he was spotted busking in Reading town centre and said spotter was mesmerised by his masterful playing.

More info about Jonny can be found on his website www.jonnyowens.co.uk.
 
We're open from 12pm to 2pm. Tickets cost £3 as usual, and of course, there are some lovely refreshments available at the bar.

That’s everything for another week, just to remind you that we are, as always,at 30 Silver Street, Reading, RG1 2ST (If you pop it into your satnav or Google, we shall magically appear!)
