Club Velocity

Club Velocity is Reading's leading bandnight and has been happening at the Rising Sun Arts Centre since March 2003 hosting the likes of Bloc Party (before anyone cared – the band still claim it as one of their favourite venues), Elle Milano, Help She Can’t Swim, New Rhodes and so on. The Mail on Sunday showed up once. Chris Hufford (Manager of Radiohead/Supergrass) paid to get in and loved the centre. John Moore (Ex Jesus and Mary Chain) has been down once or twice.

Club Velocity takes place every fourth Friday of the month.

Hi Everyone

We have a new piano

The Rising Sun has taken delivery of a brand new piano for the centre. Replacing the long-serving (but increasingly long-in-the-tooth) baby grand, this new piano is slightly smaller but no less grand!
