by Chris Hillman
April 10, 2021
in Arts, Featured, Wokingham
Kyros

FESTIVAL DATE: Kyros have been booked for Wokingham this August

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

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.
