This Weekend's Events (3rd to 5th August)
By Lawrence on Thu 2 Aug
Hi Everyone
There's no time for a pre-amble this time, so here is everything that's happening at the Rising Sun this weekend
On Friday, we have the Summer edition of TRIBUTE NIGHT
Anyone who has been to a Rising Sun Tribute Night will already know the deal. Every three months we pay homage to a much-loved band or artist. Everyone picks a song or two, practices them for a bit, then gets together again on Tribute Night to play them to a crowd - always with fascinating results. The next Tribute Night’s hero is announced at the end of the evening. It’s a simple but winning formula and is silly amounts of fun.
This time the Tribute Night train makes a stop at the multi-faceted stop that is JAMES BOND THEMES
With a dramatic John Barry fanfare replete with portentous trombones and panoramic strings, we plunge headlong into another exciting, outlandish adventure – the 2018 summer edition of Tribute Night!
The James Bond films feature arguably the most celebrated catalogue of music associated with a film series, with many wonderful songs and scores written and performed by a diverse range of composers and artists including Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Nancy Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Paul McCartney & Wings, Carly Simon, Duran Duran, a-ha, Chris Cornell, Jack White & Alicia Keys, Adele etc etc.
We’ll be open at 8pm and as usual, there’s no charge on the door, but we suggest you keep £5 or more aside for when the friendly people with hats circulate the room, the bar, the hallway, the porch, the little bit of pavement out the front, and the smoking pen out the back.
On Saturday, SCARLET VIXENS present DARK CARNIVAL
The Scarlet Vixens are back at their original home, the Rising Sun Arts Centre, with a show not to be missed! This time we're bringing you a night of burlesque and variety inspired by our favourite rock and metal music legends. More details to be released soon!

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!)
