Hi Everyone

Why are wasps so angry?  What exactly is their problem?  It's not as if they have to get up in the morning for a long commute or do a school run, or even watch their football team lose every week.  Come on wasps, take a leaf out of caterpillars' books and chill out a bit!

And with that particular vignette dealt with, it's time to let you know what is happening at the Rising Sun this weekend...

On Friday we have CLUB VELOCITY

Another fine selection of beat combos for the delectation of us all courtesy of Velocity HQ and it looks just so:-

A VERY DEEP HOLE

Just released an album this month and are playing the RIsing Sun to celebrate

"Our fave psych garage five piece punks.  Very, very good band for people who know their garage from their garage."  Is the considered opinion of Neville Passolini of Golf Snob quarterly

NOT FIT FOR HUMANS
"The best band to come out of Slough ever.  Like the Pixies for real punks." so says Norris Bertolucci of Salmon, Trout & Sea Trout

(Unfortunately, BELLYEYESMILE have had to pull out.  Apologies to anyone who was planning to come along to see them)

We're open at 8pm, and it'll cost you £5 on the door or £4.40 in advance from www.wegottickets.co.uk. 

Saturday's a little quiet, hyowever, 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!)

This Weekend's Events (21st to 23rd August)

Hi Everyone

Hope you're "enjoying" the novelty of grey skies, rain and other things that many of us at Rising Sun HQ like to describe as "cricket weather".
