Mike Wagner – Be Yours
Mike is a Reading-based singer-songwriter and drummer from Durban, South Africa and he will be appearing live on the Wokingham Music Club (WMC) Stage at Wokingham Festival.
This song and the others from his Life… A Seven Day Journey show that he will definitely be worth checking out. Mike says that he writes songs inspired by life, faith and people, creating sounds that attempt to resonate with what it is to be human.
It sounds like he is succeeding in those attempts – www.facebook.com/mikewagnermusic
Crooked Shapes – Let It Go
The first Peach Place live music event was a great success and the second one is this Saturday afternoon, featuring Wokingham-based rock band, Crooked Shapes plus Reliant, who featured in this feature a few months ago.
That sounds like a perfect way to spend an afternoon.
We understand that Crooked Shapes will be releasing their debut album soon so that’s something to look forward to so, while we wait for that, here’s one of their singles – www.crookedshapes.com
