Sound-Check is a free, independent live music guide for Reading, in print and available to pick up all over central Reading.
Basic listing in Sound‑check is completely free. Just email the info about your gig to copy@sound‑check.co.uk by the 24th of each previous month.
We’ve made a Sound‑check Photo Year Book!
Just a 48-page book showcasing some of the best shots from our regular photographers over the last 12 months.
It’s on sale right now from:
• Oxfam Music (RG1 4SA)
• POP Classics (RG4 8BA)
It’s £12 in the shops and £3 to post so, if you’d like one posted to you, the button will take £15 and I’ll whip a book round to the post office for you.
If you’d like more than one, or you’re not in the UK, drop me an email at rich@sound‑check.co.uk
