Hi Everyone

Before I, your humble narrator, regale you with news of this weekend's happenings and goings on at the Rising Sun, we've got something else to tell you about

The Rising Sun Arts Centre has been nominated in Alt Reading's 2015 Awards in the Venue of the Year category!!  Voting doesn't open until Friday night, but in the meantime you can have a read of the nice write-up they've given us and also a quick peek at the other nominees at http://www.altreading.com/venue-of-the-year-the-shortlist/

We have just the one event this weekend it's on Friday, and it happens to be CLUB VELOCITY'S 12TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

Yes folks!  12 years of Club Velocity that seem to have come and gone a lot quicker than a decade and a bit would suggest.  Not only will there be an abundance of free cake, shizzle and "things you can throw a stick at", but also a fine buffet of ear food like so:-

THE AUGUST LIST
Club Velocity legends. Husband and wife styley Country-Buegrass Alt Punk ‘n’ Roll.

BLANK BIBLES
The powers that be at Velocity HQ are highly convinced that Blank Biblkes shall be legends by tea time. One of our fave bands of the last twelve months!

PINK DIAMOND REVUE
The great duo-proper electro punxs.  Awesome with a capital A, even if we say so ourselves

We're open at 8pm, and it'll cost you £5 on the door or £4 in advance from www.wegottickets.co.uk

(Unfortunately, this Saturday's helping of FIESTA LATINA has had to be cancelled.  Please accept our apologies for the late notice)

That's everything for another week.  Just to remind you that barring bizarre unexplained phenemona, that you can find us at 30 Silver Street, Reading, Berkshire, England, Europe, Northern Hemisphere, Planet Earth. The Solar System, Milky Way, Near Andromeda, The Universe, RG1 2ST  (If you put us in your google or satnav we shall magically appear)
