Candlelight tribute concert by The Sound of Springsteen, fronted by Sam Confrey, playing Bruce Springsteen classics at Reading Minster.
The Sound of Springsteen play Reading Minster on Saturday 28 November, a tribute to Bruce Springsteen's catalogue presented by XPERIENCE LIVE. It's a London band fronted by Sam Confrey on lead vocals and guitars, with saxophonist Glen Johnson on the horn. Rather than a traditional theatre, the show is staged in the candlelit setting of the Minster, with thousands of flickering candles providing the light.
The set works through the classics, from Born to Run and Born in the U.S.A. to The River, Streets of Philadelphia, Dancing in the Dark, Thunder Road and Hungry Heart. It's a tribute concert, and the organisers make clear it isn't affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Bruce Springsteen or his representatives.
One thing to keep in mind is the venue itself. The Minster is a historic space, and the organisers note that such buildings weren't originally designed for modern amplified sound, so the room may feel different from a conventional theatre. That's part of the draw, though — the candles and the setting are as much a part of the night as the music.
