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
