LOCKDOWN has enabled creativity to flow and this can be seen in our Top 10 this week.
Our Wokingam Loves Music playlist features Kyros, who have used the past 18 months to produce a lot of tunes for us to enjoy.
And The Good Doctor is a great example of that creativity. You’ll love it.
Why not have a listen? The playlist is FREE on Spotify. Make sure you have a listen at bit.ly/wokinghamlovesmusic and search for our group on Facebook to join in the music chat.
Kyros – The Good Doctor
A very prolific international band with local connections.
In just over a year they have released their acclaimed Celexa Dreams album, their Four of Fea’ EP, and their Celexa Streams isolation sessions album.
If that’s not enough they have announced a new album of covers including this single that features guests, Ray Hearne (Haken) and Andy Robison (Ihlo).
It’s not just about quantity though, it’s quality too which is why the band’s following is growing.
Check them out live on their tour which features an appearance at Wokingham Festival on Bank Holiday Monday – www.kyrosmusic.com
The 11 – This Life
Here’s a late addition to the Wokingham Festival line up and what a good addition it is.
The 11 describe themselves as ‘a straight up, no-messing, proper honest rock-band with feels and melody aplenty’ and they certainly show evidence for that in this song as well as their other single releases.
We’ll look forward to checking them out at the festival which we understand will be performed with their all new line up – www.facebook.com/the11uk
