Reading Today

Not quite Neighbours, but still good friends

- ■ ■ ■

AUSSIE soap opera Neighbours came to an end last week, and it could form the inspiratio­n for a singing session in Reading this weekend.

Readifolk is holding a singers’ night based on the theme Home and Away.

The event is open to people who enjoy performing in a friendly, relaxed environmen­t. Turns could be songs, tunes, poems, stories or jokes.

The group welcomes all abilities, from beginners finding their folky feet to those with decades of experience.

Organisers don’t have soap operas on their mind, even though both Neighbours and Home and Away have lyrics to their theme tunes. Instead they’re thinking about holiday destinatio­ns and similar concepts.

The fun takes place at Watlington House in South Street, Reading, from 8pm. Entry is £3.

There will also be three toccatas by JS Bach: C minor, D major, and G minor.

Ferrucci has given concerts as a soloist and chamber musician across Europe, Australia and the United States, performing at Wigmore Hall and The Barbican in London, Carnegie Weill Hall in New York and the Fazioli Concert Hall in Italy, among other venues.

Recent projects include concerto performanc­es in Italy and a particular focus on the Goldberg Variations.

The performanc­e starts at 7.30pm, and will be live streamed for those who want to listen in the comfort of their own home.
