TICKETS have gone on sale for a double header of great music.
The Hawkmen are headlining a show for Club Velocity at the Face Bar in Reading’s Ambrose Place, on Thursday, March 3.
The group draw from an array of influences such as rhythm’n’blues, soul, and rock’n’roll which they bring together in a classic, rootsy, hybrid blend.
The band emerged as a full, live act in 2017 following the early successes of soul 45 and Craig Charles favourite, Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover (Record Kicks), a Northern Soul remix of Emma Beatson’s debut single Do It.
It was selected by Craig Charles for the second volume of his Freestyle Records compilation series.
The Hawkmen’s Keep On Working EP yielded another 45, and was widely played on BBC Radio 2 and Radio 6.
In 2017 Love Is Blind was released and features on the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club Vol.5 compilation and received more BBC 6 Music airplay.
The band have toured both Germany and the UK, and will be looking forward to their Reading date.
Joining them will be Tom Webber, a Didcot-based singer-songwriter.
The 21-year-old is a relative newcomer to the scene, but is getting people excited.
Tickets cost £12.10 including a booking fee.
