Reading Roars!

Another festival hits Reading (yawn).

Actually, it’s all very exciting, as the Slug & Lettuce at The Oracle is hosting the 8-week Blues Festival, described in the press release as:

the most amazing, electrifying Blues festival to hit the shores of Reading EVER!!

(Not only does Reading have supposedly city status, now it can enjoy island status, too).

The mini-fest is run by the Jazz Agency. Domestic outfit The Jason Manners Band will bring their soulful blues to the bar on Thursday 27 October and will return on 10 November:

Jason Manners is back also turning out more of his soulful Blues guitar, in his usual exiting format for Week 5.

So can we anticipate an early departure?

In between, we can expect the TJ Johnson Band, performing on Thursday 3 November.

Then it’s The Boogie-Woogie Braves on 17 November, Smokestack on 24 November and finally Tom Mansi and the Icebreakers on 1 December.

So now you know, folks. Get yourselves down to Topshop for a couple of Fosters, before checking out the Blues Festival at the Slug & Lettuce.

Happy Thursday.
