A MESSAGE FROM AF HARROLD OF 'READING' FAME (NOT THE GAOL, OF COURSE):
Wednesday 5th April – Mouthtrap Cabaret, South Street Arts Centre, Reading. 8pm doors for 8.30 show. £6/£4, on the door or from 0118 960 6060. www.readingarts.com
Next Wednesday is the next and most recent of my cabaret nights and I think this one’s going to be utterly super, if not really smashing. We have four acts, all of whom are wonderful and for one of whom it’s a very special and in some ways sad night indeed. But more of that in a moment.
Byron Vincent is an up and coming young poet I’ve had the good fortune to see and slam with a couple of times and I’m proud to bring him to Reading.
Jem Rolls is an old hand on the poetry circuit having done more gigs than I’ve had hot dinners (I really need to eat more), running events in London and Edinburgh and bringing culture regularly to the Canadians.
Brendan McLeod is one of those Canadians who is returning the favour and coming here to share his very handsome being with us.
And then Bidgie Reef Without The Gas are performing their last ever show as the cabaret duo (Roger Winslett and Pete Brookes), vowing to dedicate their energies to the full band version (Bidgie Reef And The Gas). I think this is shame because there’s something magic about two grown men in evening dress belting out great songs in a way that ensures you can hear every word. But this is your last chance to see, hear and touch the hem of this stunning old warhorse.
