We were thrilled to catch Gemma Rogers when she performed at Mount at Wasing earlier this month, and we think you'll love her too

WE'RE just a few weeks away now from the start of the summer festival season, and we can't wait.

Heading up our hit parade is a star in the making ? catch her before she makes it big and you'll have a claim to fame to enjoy for years...

When a guitarist as good as Steve Hackett chooses someone to join him on guitar and backing/lead vocals in his touring band you know they must be good

Something different heads up our playlist this week ? a song about cannibals who run a pub.

Last weekend's Are You Listening? festival was brilliant. We had a whale of a time exploring the many venues and catching bands

WE LOVE bringing you something big and this week that's a new band? with a strong link to the region.

This weekend is the return of the Are You Listening? festival, one of our favourite events in the year.

We've been out on the road again, catching up with some of the bands heading our way. We couldn't give a personal recommendation without research.

WE LOVE the sheer variety of the Reading and Wokingham music scene as we get a real mixture of artists coming to showcase their talents.
