We’ve added another three festive tunes to our playlist, helping you countdown to the big day.

We’re on a mission to champion and showcase great music from acts that have a connection to Reading and Wokingham (that’s the RaW in our Sounds Today name).

It’s an eclectic mix of stuff that will help you discover something new. All you have to do is find it on Spotify.

To hear this week’s selection, simply head to https://bit.ly/rawsoundstoday and enjoy the music.

There is also a Facebook page and group chat that bands and music fans can tap into. You can search for RaW Sounds Today and it will come up.

RyeWolf – When the Snows of Winter Fall

RyeWolf are a ‘supergroup’ of local musicians who play individually in their own right and also get together in this guise to perform folk music with plenty of dancing, singing, hand clapping and foot stomping.

They have a special Christmas Show coming up which should be a fun night.

It’s a Readifolk event on Sunday December 11, at Watlington House. The band also have a softer side as shown on this wonderful song from their new three-track single, Christmas Cheer – https://www.ryewolf.co.uk/

Now Joe has released a Christmas album, Ding Dong, from which this is taken.

It’s full of songs in Joe’s unique style that will certainly get you in the seasonal spirit.
