Future Transmissions, the Reading independent promoters, bring a night of rock'n'roll with acoustic duo Wilswood Buoys, Rocket Kings and Nick Saxton to the Rising Sun Arts Centre.
Wilswood Buoys, Rocket Kings and Nick Saxton play the Rising Sun Arts Centre on Friday 27 November, a night put on by Future Transmissions. The promoters are Reading-based and have been booking shows across Reading, Oxford and London for over twenty years, working with new acts, established names and legends with what they call a self-confessed belief in rock'n'roll.
Wilswood Buoys are Josh and Joe, an acoustic duo from Mersea Island who formed in the summer of 2017 when a jam session between two mates turned into writing music. They come from very different musical upbringings, and they've woven several genres into a raw alt-folk island sound of catchy riffs and big choruses. They're joined on the bill by Rocket Kings and Nick Saxton, so it's a triple bill rather than a single act.
The night is hosted at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, a small independent venue that's been run by volunteers for over 25 years. It started as a squat founded by artists who saw a need for ground-level arts in Reading and gained charity status in the mid-90s. Its programme runs from avant-garde music by top improvisers to participatory projects and band nights, all staged without core funding or full-time staff.
