Wokingham Loves Music
WE’RE very excited about next week, as events can start happening again.
The roadmap to reopening means live music indoors is back, and events from June are looking promising.
With that in mind, our Wokingham Loves Music playlist continues to look ahead at some of the great tunes coming our way.
This week includes Fred’s House, who will be at Wokingham Festival this August. We can’t wait.
You can listen for FREE, via Spotify. There’s a special page set-up at bit.ly/wokinghamlovesmusic
Fred’s House – Steal the Night
Here’s a band that hasn’t visited the area since their Wokingham Music Club (WMC) show a few years ago.
The good news is that they will be appearing at Wokingham Festival in August so while we look forward to that, here’s a track from their Walls and Ceilings EP.
It’s a great track and with the silky smooth and powerful vocal talents of Vikki Gavin combined with the quality musicianship of the rest of the band, it will have you singing along to the hooky chorus – fredshousemusic.co.uk
Mississippi Voss – Stranger in Paradise
They describe themselves as an indiefunk duo from Berkshire and this is their latest single which showcases their cool grooves and wonderful melodic song writing. They are another act that will be appearing at Wokingham Festival in August. What a line-up it’s going to be.
The duo of Paddy Spiers and Tom Lane met at Reading Blue Coat School and recorded this single and their album Torrent in Paddy’s own studio in his bedroom – www.facebook.com/ mississippi.voss
John Coughlan’s Quo – Lockdown (Stir-Crazy Mix)
This band featuring the ex-Status Quo drummer visited the town to play a great show at WMC in 2019. If you ‘lost your mind in lockdown’ put this track on, turn it up, sing-along and rock out – www.johncoghlan.com
The 286 – One Way Love
The 286 are a rock ‘n’ roll orchestra who perform their unique interpretations of classical pieces and more as well as their own self-penned songs. They will be at Wokingham Festival in August – www.the286.co.uk
The Salts – Drunken Sailor (A Cappella)
It’s a brand new ‘a cappella’ version of the sea shanty classic released on Wokingham based Braccan Records. The band will be live at Norden Farm in Maidenhead on June 25 –
