THE SOUND of music is coming to Carnival Hub next month as two fundraising concerts raise the roof for the very first time.
Proceeds from the two events, held in the afternoon and evening, will go to help fund a new Dementia Day Care fund at Wade day-care centre on Reading Road.
First up will be an afternoon of big band sound from The Glenn Miller Orchestra UK.
Then, in the evening there are two tribute acts: The Police Academy and Ultimate Elton and the Rocket Band.
It will be the first event to take advantage of Carnival Hub’s new multi-purpose hall that will enable live performances to take place.
Philip Mirfin, Chair of Trustees at Wade, said: “We are delighted to be able to put on two fantastic concerts with appeal across the age range of residents here in Wokingham borough.
“Please, join us, revel in some fantastic music on Saturday, November 19, and help raise much needed funds for Dementia day-time respite care here in Wokingham.
“Respite care that will enable dementia sufferers to stay with people they love, in their own home, for longer.”
The event is being produced by Wokingham Music Club’s Stan Hetherington, and he says the line-up is one to savour.
“Bringing two concerts and three truly amazing acts together in support of new Dementia care facilities in Wokingham has been a real pleasure and wonderful challenge. We’re looking forward to some outstanding music on the day,” he said.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra will perform from 2.30pm, with tickets costing £29.50 and £15 for under 16s. The Ultimate Elton and the Rocket Band and The Police Academy will take place from 7.30pm, and tickets cost £25 or £15 for under 16s.
