The Who Killed The Spring Chicken Weekender, kicks off the sunny season with two days full of Music, Film & Art. Headlining the weekend is the legend that is DJ DEREK!
The Bristol based DJ whose blend of 60's Rocksteady, Reggae, Ska, Dancehall and Soul music has made him an icon for many in the industry, including a host of Jamaican producers and Massive Attack.
A weekend special, to kick off springtime, also see's hot new female artist Zarif, whose work with the Nextmen on critically acclaimed single "Something Got You", has catapulted her quirky retor-tinged soul into the masses.
Saturday will see a new twist to the Reading scene, with The Afternoon teapot Party. The Teapot Party will host Reading's biggest electric acts, playing in a totally unplugged setting...expect mandolins & washboards, and bands swilling beer from teapots, and make sure not to miss out on an unplugged electronica from Matt Tanner.
Evening brings an Electronica/ Hip Hop/ Pop/ Soul twist, and performing with Zarif see's hot act Rochelle, and the quirky Goldie Looking Chain-esque Johnny Rench.
