Inhaltsangabe

Relive the decade when Reading's music scene turned itself up to 11 and really started to rock.


This hugely well-informed and entertaining account of live music in Reading between 1966 and 1976 charts the journey from the emergence of psychedelia to the dawn of punk, and brings into focus the many musicians and bands – from The Amboy Dukes to The Who – that played at venues around the town. Read about the early years of the Reading Festival, lost and much missed music venues, and local musical heroes.

Includes a foreword by Mike Cooper.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Adrian Moulton was a Special Needs teacher for 40 years, teaching English, Drama and Music. A regular broadcaster on local radio, he still writes, records and performs with Reading’s post-punk heroes The Complaints. Married, with children, stepchildren, grand-children and great-grand-children a-plenty, he works in the Sound Machine in Reading.

Mike Warth was born and educated in Reading before completing Teacher Training at Milton Keynes College of Education. He taught in Primary schools for 28 years, after which he was appointed as an Education Officer for Special Education, retiring in 2013. He is currently working part-time in the Sound Machine in Reading and is the author of two books on local history, as well as being a significant contributor to a series of books on rock music. He is married with three children, one grandchild and two stepchildren.

Austin Matthews grew up in Crowthorne, moving to Reading after graduating from university some twenty (or so) years ago. By day he works in finance, but by night picks up a pen to write about obscure progressive rock acts for various publications. Married with two children, he is still searching for an original copy of Grannie’s self-titled album from 1971. If you have one, get in touch.
