Happy Birthday to Blue: party for anniversary
ACULINARY corner of Reading is gearing up for a party as it celebrates its first year in its current place. Blue Collar Corner is celebrating 12 months of being in its permanent home on Hosier Street with a big birthday bash.
Four days of events will see live music, sports fixtures, DJs, food favourites, and new boozy offerings from the site.
On Thursday, March 9, Double Barrelled Brewery will unveil its speciallybrewed beer in honour of the occasion with DJ Rich Sloman performing.
On Friday, March 10, The Showhawk Duo will take to the stage, flanked by festival favourites Rum & Donuts DJs, for the official 1st Birthday Party event.
The party continues on Saturday,
March 11, which will kick off with Indie Brunch before a live streaming of the England vs France fixture of the Six Nations Rugby.
On Sunday, Blue Collar will wrap up its weekend of events with an intimate, stripped-back performance by Third Lung, who will be joined by Loveless, Reliant, and Who Ate All The Crayons.
Speaking about the event, Blue Collar’s Glen Dinning announced “After the year of our lives, of Summer boozing, next level street food, rotating beers and cocktails, a Winter refurb, a cost of living crisis, World Cup screenings, massive DJ sets and live music, our baby will celebrate it’s first birthday on Friday, March 10.”
“We’ll be going big that weekend,” Glen continues. “We’re starting on Thursday, March 9, with the return of Thursday DJs and the launch of a special first birthday beer from Double Barrelled Brewery. On Friday it’s the big birthday bash with The Showhawk Duo, and Rum & Donuts DJs.
“Saturday starts with an Indie Brunch followed by Six Nations rugby on our big screens then a party set from DJ Acronym.”
“On Sunday we are raising funds for homelessness prevention charity, Launchpad, one of our partner charities, alongside local indie band Third Lung.”
Blue Collar Corner holds a range of regular events as well as its rotating offerings of street food, with a St Patrick’s Day event, Six
Nations Super Saturday, and Big Jay’s
Big Drag Brunch all set to take place in March, too.
