NO FUNNY business his week, just great music.
Regular readers will have spotted that last week’s Wokingham Loves Music soundtrack started with an April fool – you’ll be pleased to know that not only is it business as usual, but The Room are sticking with their line-up.
This week, there’s two great new entries to enjoy, both to whet your appetite for the forthcoming Wokingham Festival.
You can listen for FREE, via Spotify.
There’s a special page set-up at bit.ly/wokinghamlovesmusic
Kyros – Cloudburst (Isolation Sessions)
Last year Kyros, who have a number of links to the local area, performed a series of innovative and critically acclaimed virtual shows. Now the band has released an album, Celexa Streams, which features remixed and remastered versions of the highlights of those shows.
This track is taken from that album and now the band are planning to play some real live shows later in the year, one of which will be their first-ever appearance at Wokingham Festival in August – www.kyrosmusic.com
The Wave Machine – Ocean’s Brew
Here’s another artist that will be appearing at Wokingham Festival for the first time this year.
The Wave Machine is the creative outlet for Angus Trott, a Brighton based singer-songwriter who was born and raised in Wokingham.
His songs have a summer feel as shown on this single which has a great feel-good vibe. We’ll look forward to sitting back and chilling to this talented artist at the festival – www.facebook.com/thewavemachine
The Room – Broken
This was our April Fool’s track last week but there’s no joke about how good this band is. They appeared at Wokingham Festival in 2019 and festival organiser Stan Hetherington was so impressed that he invited them back this year – theroom.band
