SKAMAGEDDON
​
Just another Ska band? Think again, Skamageddon's line up is made up of some incredibly talented players, with the ever powerful 4 part brass, (well 1 part brass 3 parts woodwind to be correct) section and a Rhythm section that takes no prisoners! Hot on the heels of their OffTheHookFest debut in 2022, Skamageddon are set to dominate the airwaves and are not to be missed!

SoREAL
​
The total soul experience! SoReal’s original soulful sound fills the dance floor every time!
SoReal are a Reading based band keeping alive old but gold soul classics from the 60s through to the 80s; from Twisting the Night Away, Reet Petite and My Girl to Superstition and Master Blaster.
Front man O’Rael is famous across the country for singing these great hits. He is sure to get your party going and ensure a good time is had by all. Drums and rhythms are provided by Charlie - a recent graduate of the ACM Charlie’s precise and creative drumming puts the heart-beat in SoReal's music. Talented multi-instrumentalist Nick is on Guitar and backing vocals. John, on keys and backing vocals, brings the colour to SoReal's music with authentic piano, organ, strings and horn sounds. Last, but not least, providing a solid foundation on Bass is Simon.
TBC!
More exciting acts TBC!
UNDER THE COVERS
​
The term “Supergroup” is much maligned, and with good reason, as most of them are rubbish. Under the Covers are no exception. Critics call them "A London-based five piece cover band who play their own upbeat take on indie, rock and pop classics from the 60s to today". The cool kids don't listen to critics, they don't listen to Under The Covers either.. Get down the front and get your groove on. No cool kids in sight..
