WE’RE BACK in lockdown and what better way to while away a dark evening with some great music that’s free to listen to?

There’s 10 great songs for you to listen to, featuring bands with a connection to Wokingham borough.

And with a great music mix, you’re bound to discover something new that you’ll love.

They’ve been chosen by Chris Hillman from White Star Records. He curates the Wokingham Love Music soundtrack which features songs from bands and artists with some connection to Wokingham’s music scene.

New entries this week are Quatum Pig, who were due to appear at Wokingham Music Festival, and Moth Man, who have released their debut single.

You can listen for FREE via Spotify. There’s a special page set-up at bit.ly/wokinghamlovesmusic

Quantum Pig – Dirty Old Engine

This London-based band, formed around the duo of Ian Faragher and Mark Stevenson, were due to perform this song in a headlining set on Wokingham Festival’s Wokingham Music Club stage. Sadly, of course, that didn’t happen but we can still listen to their album, Songs of Industry and Sunshine which was released on White Star Records and picked up a Progressive Music Awards nomination.

Mark also joined comedian Jon Richardson in an excellent series of podcasts earlier this year – quantumpig.net

Moth Man – The Water

Another great track on a local record label. This time it’s on a new label called Billywitch Records which is an offshoot from Wokingham based Mega Dodo Records.

It’s the debut single from a Reading and Manchester-based band and, if this is anything to go by, we’ll definitely look forward to their debut album Where the Dead Birds Go in March next year – www.facebook.com/mothmanbandpage
