´óÏó´«Ã½

Remember the heady days of lounging in the sunshine, supping cider on the grass, listening to live music? It all seems so long ago.

Well if you, like ´óÏó´«Ã½ Berkshire, are a fan of the sizzling live music scene here in Berkshire and you're missing the atmosphere of a band all-dayer, then let us welcome you to the 'micro' festival.

On the first Sunday of every month the Oakford Social Club in Reading will host The Sunday Social - a day that is brimming with the kind of live music you would expect to find at a summer festival.

But, seeing as the winter months are drawing close, you can enjoy the festival vibe in the sumptuous setting of the cosy Oakford Social Club.

The fun starts with the first Sunday Social on 7 October from 3pm – 11pm, featuring live music from The Skies, White Sunday, The Repertoires, Megan Henwood and DJ sets from Come Together Festival, Andi ¤ and Boutique.

The Sunday Social is organised by Scratchy Apache, the event production company set up by two of the organisers of the Come Together Festival, Henley's free community arts festival.

Refusing to let that dampen their spirits, the event organisers came up the concept of The Sunday Social to keep the festival fun alive and kicking.

Juliet of Scratchy Apache says: "The Come Together Festival Committee hope that plans for the festival to take place next year will get off the ground soon.

"In the meantime Simon from the committee and myself have set up our own independent events company to use our expertise to execute a range of arts events.

"There's so much talent here in Reading it would be crazy not to!"

The organisers feel it is a great opportunity to work with a greater number of bands and entertainers.

Anyone who is interested in performing at the Sunday Social can get in touch via Scratchy Apache's My Space page.
