Hi Everyone

September appears to be winding to a close just as quickly as it arrived.  The leaves are starting to change colour, the nights are closing in and apparently it's McBusted night on something called the X-Factor.  

If any or all of the above, are far too depressing to comprehend, we have some little things here at the Rising Sun to take your mind off it :)

First of all, Friday, and for your delectation, we have CLUB VELOCITY

Another fine selection of beat combos for the enjoyment of us all courtesy of Velocity HQ.  This month's Club Velocity acts as a showcase for All Will Be Well records, who even if we say so ourselves are a proper DIY record label.  

By the way, it looks like this:-

8.00 - NELSON AND THE COLUMNS "Wholegrain indie".

8.30 - DAVID TUDOR "Finely-crafted Folk with scattered Electronica" .

9.05 - STU CLARK and SARAH LAMBERT-GATES "Beautiful, hypnotic and captivating". 

9.45 - BEN GOSLING (+ special guests) "Alt-Folk with a punk attitude". 

10.20 - A RELUCTANT ARROW - "Blues-rock, with a buttery, bacon-wrapped Americana soul".

We're open at 7.30pm, and it'll cost you £5 on the door or £4 in advance from www.wegottickets.co.uk

On Saturday it's time for FIESTA LATINA

A fun and sociable dance night featuring a mix of Latin dances from tango to meringue, salsa to bachata and all the stops in between (La Rueda is a speciality). Very friendly evening in somewhere that could have been lifted straight out of Cuba. Come and enjoy some hot Latin rhythms.

We'll be open at 9pm and it'll cost you a paltry £6 on the door to get in

Finally on Sunday, we bring you SUNDAY ASSEMBLY

Sunday Assembly Reading is a community group that meets on the last Sunday of each month at the Rising Sun to hear great talks, sing songs, eat cake and celebrate life… it’s a part atheist church, part foot-stomping show.  Each event has a theme with stories, readings and a final address on that topic. No matter what the subject, the goal of The Sunday Assembly is to solace worries, provoke kindness and inject a bit more whizziness into the everyday.  And the best part.... IT’S FREE.

We're open from 11am to 12pm, and everybody's welcome!

That’s everything for another week, just to remind you that we are, as always, at 30 Silver Street, Reading, RG1 2ST (If you pop it into your satnav or Google, we shall magically appear!)

Have a nice weekend!
