Aldbourne Band and Brighouse & Rastrick will also be appearing in February 2025.

It is hoped that more dates with bands will be added with the aim of promoting 10 concerts across five dates in 2025.

Great additions

British Bandsman owner, Rob Tompkins told 4BR: "I'm really pleased with the options that have been made available at Reading Town Hall — the discounts are a great addition to the ticketing options.

The £6 ticket for under 18's is a great price for the concerts and offers the opportunity to bring in a younger audience with the 2.00pm concerts offering a real family friendly programme of music.

The group booking discount of 20% gives bands a 'band trip' option and the discount offer adds yet more value."
