The Room – The Golden Ones
We are looking forward to the return of The Room to Wokingham Festival on August Bank Holiday Monday after their impressive appearance at the festival in 2019.
Fans of the band also get an extra treat as the band’s bass player, Andy Rowe, who is also an internationally renowned voiceover artist,
will be host for Sunday on the main TradeMark Stage.
Here’s a single, from the band’s acclaimed Caught by the Machine album which is a great singalong anthem – theroom.band
