ON SATURDAY, Reading saw the March of the Mods, where members of the mod community rode across town before attending the Face Bar for an evening of music and festivities.
The event saw a number of bands and DJs take to the stage at the venue in aid of The Teenage Cancer Trust.
Personal Issue, The Highwasters, Wardour Street, The Echo, The Junction Band, and Pressure Drop all performed sets as part of the line-up.
Organiser Trevor Absolom said that the response to the event: “Blows me away, to be honest.
“We had two packed bars, with bands playing to three hundred or so people, and DJs playing more Northern Soul.
“With the raffle, we had donations from Reading Football Club, Tesco, and Morrisons.”
He said that in total, the event made more than £4,325
“The easy job is putting it on, the hard part is turning up and donating your money.
“But Sharon at the venue was an absolute diamond, so my thanks go to her and all of the door and bar staff,
“It is humbling to be able to raise this kind of money for the Teenage Cancer Trust and knowing it’s going to such a fantastic charity.”
