Another year, another fantastic Wokingham Festival. Well done to all the bands, organisation team and volunteers! Knowing what goes into organising a gig for just 1 band on 1 night, we salute all those that make the festival happen.

Fingers crossed that we get an invite to play in 2024 at this amazing event.

Much love,

MGJJ

We're going to be busy for a couple of days clearing up, and we'll be making proper 'thank you's after that, but in the meantime, thank you to all who came along, and all who helped make this year's festival happen! We had a blast, we hope you did too.

Yes, we've booked the sunshine and it looks like it might even turn up!

It's a not-for-profit event run by team of volunteers who put in hundreds of hours organising every detail of this professional standard event for the Wokingham community. The ticket price of £16/day or £40 for the 3 day weekend is phenomenal value - BUY NOW to take advantage of this reduced rate! Ends 9pm Thursday. https://www.wokinghamfestival.co.uk/

Next weekend sees the 2023 Wokingham Festival take place.

We have the pleasure of playing there in 2021 and 2022 and still rate them as up there with our best gigs.

Alongside the fantastic music, it is also a great family day out and local festival. The vibe is amazing. Please support the festival and it would be a great way to dip your toe into the water of festivals if you have not been to one before.

We still dream of headlining that main stage one day!
