A trio of teenagers performed in a Wokingham town centre estate agents for Day 16 of Wokingham’s Living Advent Calendar.

Brothers Ethan and Ellis and their friend Connor – who they say they have known forever – played an acoustic set from various genres.

Ethan is 17, Connor 16 and Ellis 14. The boys played on a couple of guitars and a Cajon with Ethan on vocals.

They performed in the Wokingham branch of Martin & Pole in Broad Street to a large, appreciative crowd.

The show is just one of a number of special events taking place in Wokingham town centre every day between now and Christmas Eve. A live performance will be held somewhere in Wokingham at 6.15pm or 4pm at weekends.

On Thursday, December 17, we’ll be coming to you from Electric Tattoo Parlour in Broad Street at 6.15pm. What will it be? We’ll tell you tomorrow!
