A TRIBUTE to one of the stalwarts of the Reading Community Carnival will take place in Reading next week.
Dave Batson, who died last year, was one of the mainstays of the carnival, which took place around Prospect Park from the year 2000.
Part of this was AJ’s Calypso Tent, and it makes a one-off return to the Grosvenor Casino on Rose Kiln Lane on Friday, May 27.
There is a packed bill, aimed at celebrating Reading’s links to the Caribbean, and its culture.
The MC will be Super Trini Vibes, backed by AJ’s All Stars and the Kaso Gems.
Appearing will be G-String, Ms Desire, De Admiral, Brown Sugar, Rev B, Dame Polly, Music Man, DeeVine, and King Clivus.
The event starts at 8pm and runs to 11.30pm. Tickets cost £12.50 in advance, and more on the door.
