March at the Oakford

Posted: Tue, 02 Mar 2010

As ever, the Oakford Social Club in Reading is rammed to the gills with exciting acts this month, from The Good Natured, Toxic Funk Berry and Vices

3 March 2010

BBC Introducing presents The Good Natured live, Jake Aldridge and The Joe
Public
Free entry, from 8pm

By all means, this looks set to be Sarah Macintosh's year. The lead singer behind The Good Natured, barely gets to pop to the loo, it seems, before she is back on the airwaves, and being touted as the answer to 2010. The BBC's very own Huw Stevens and Steve Lamacq alone seem to be ensuring this happens. She has also picked up Drowned In Sound's Single of the Year 2009, not shabby at all. The Skins crew love her, The Sunday Times loves her, The Guardian loves her, your mum loves her, uncle Tom.......

BBC Introducing...Beatbullyz, 13D and Chuter
From 8pm, free entry

Beatbullyz have been a favourite of BBC Introducing Berkshire for quite a while now. It was back in 2008 that they last played for us here in Reading, but since then they have been on a rollercoaster ride through BBC towers! After a spectacular peformance in their home town of Swindon at Radio 1's Big Day Out, well there has been no turning back.

3D impressed the BBC Introducing Berkshire Demo Panel judges so much, that they voted him Demo of the Week.

BBC Introducing...Eaststrikewest, Chris TT and Ben Marwood
From 8pm, free entry

"Chris has inspired me, made me laugh and given me pause for thought ever since 'Eminem Is Gay' first landed on my desk. London Is Sinking is darkly brilliant, while 9 Red Songs is rough, ready and compelling."
-BBC Introducing

"Chris T-T is a man that we would trust with our lives. If he was standing for Mayor of London, I'd vote for him."
- BBC Introducing Radio 2
