WE CAN’T guarantee they’ll be playing tiddly-om-pom-pom, but we can promise some great afternoons of music.
Forbury Gardens is to be the venue for five lazy Sunday afternoons as the concert season returns.
Every week, between 3pm and 4.30pm, a different band will take over the bandstand to perform some of their greatest hits.
Hugely popular, many listeners bring a picnic to enjoy while listening to the aural feast.
The season starts on Sunday, July 24, with a performance from Reading Community Gospel Choir.
Take Note will be on July 31. On August 7, the Age UK Community Choir will take over the bandstand.
Then Woodley Concert Band will appear on August 14.
The season comes to a close on Sunday, August 21, with music from Waltham St Lawrence Silver Band.
Cllr Adele Barnett-Ward, Lead Councillor for Leisure and Culture said: “The Forbury Band Concert season is always a highlight of summer in Reading: an opportunity to step away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre and relax in our beautiful Victorian gardens listening to live music.
“Why not bring a blanket and a picnic and make a day of it?”
