Paradox Ten

The Paradox Twin have made it to our list Picture: Miles Skarin

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

IT’S TIME to crank up the jukebox, thanks to our top 10, and it’s all compiled by Chris Hillman from White Star Records.

The Wokingham Love Music soundtrack features songs from bands and artists with some connection to Wokingham’s music scene.

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

Never The Bride – You’re Not Alone

With there sadly being no gigs at the Wokingham Music Club (WMC) at the moment due to the virus, Chris asked WMC boss Stan Hetherington to pick a few tracks by his favourite bands that have played  at the club over the years. Here’s his first and we’ll be including more in weeks to come.

Stan picked this track as he explained that the band were the first act to play at WMC back in April 2012. Stan said: “They have written such great songs but I think my favourite from that first gig was this one as it really showed Nikki Lamborn’s talent as a singer and it always makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up”.

Selina and the Howlin Dogs – Music Is

A Wokingham Festival favourite, this Reading-based band that describe themselves as rock/funk/rap have recently released a special music video collaboration for this song.

The band explain that  “during the lockdown, we wanted to do something to engage with people, keeping busy with something creative as well as having a bit of fun”. So they created the video as a community project to collaborate remotely.
