Will never stay here again.Ġ.68km from The Facebar With a stay at The Market House, you'll be centrally located in Reading, steps from Reading Central Library and Forbury Gardens. Not even a ”sorry to hear that” let alone any offer of compensation by reducing the bill. And this was in the £340 a night Rocket suite! Girl on duty's response - ”I will tell maintenance”. I had to take the plastic inner from the waste bin in the bathroom and fill it with water in the sink and then tip it into the toilet to get rid of our waste.

As for the toilet, the very least I demand of any hotel room is that I get a functioning toilet. As it was the hottest day on record yesterday, we had to try to sleep with a tiny window open to get any air, which of course (in a city centre) was noisy. On the other hand, the girl on duty this morning obviously could not give a toss when I reported that our air conditioning did not work and our toilet did not flush. He not only found me some additional pillows and brought them to the room very quickly, but he also booked a cab for us to our restaurant at the Oracle. You have to park in a long stay car park at the Railway Station, which is a good 7 or 8 minutes walk away, and carry your luggage to the hotel yourself. You cannot even stop just outside to set passengers down or drop luggage as it is entirely surrounded by double RED lines - no stopping at any time. you won’t regret it.0.49km from The Facebar Awful location right in centre of Reading where there is absolutely NO PARKING anywhere near the hotel. It’s a hell of a job to put this kind of thing on and who knows if they will have the energy to do it again but if they do then make sure you get your tickets early and support them.

They managed to create an event where everybody involved had a fantastic time and was able to put the problems of the last couple of years behind them.

Full credit must go to Alec and Victoria of Crazy Cowboys for delivering such a well run and brilliant day. Well, what can we say in conclusion about Xiii Shades of Black other than wow, what a day. It’s a high-octane rock n roll show which even has the benefit of an ‘almost Christmas No1’ in a rocked up Living La Vida Loca…what’s not to like! It’s helped by having a front man who leads the band so well, in a style which is almost Adam Ant mixed with Billy Idol. It’s sleazy gutter rock but with a dash of almost flamenco to spice it up. They appreciate the need to bring a bit of style to their show, but it’s not just about how they look, they also deliver a unique sound. Whilst this is a relatively new line up, they’re a band who have rightly established a great reputation for their live shows.

It’s a credit to the audience that despite it being a long day they are clearly well up for the final band of the day, Gypsy Pistoleros.

Also, with “Heartbreakers Don’t Try” they hit power pop perfection and have a song that in any reality should be a massive hit! The Digressions certainly threw down the gauntlet to the other acts that were still to follow. Songs like “Beneath Nostalgia and Heartbreak” have a depth and heart that many rock bands struggle to achieve. They’re a big band with a huge sound and the first act that really had us thinking that in another time/another reality they’d be playing arenas not clubs. They effortlessly skip between a punk rock and power pop sound that recalls masterful bands like D’generation, The Exploding Hearts or The Star Spangles. This was a set that really demonstrated the band’s ability to play the style of music we really love. Long time readers will know that we are big fans of the various outfits that Rich Ragany has fronted and his most recent release with this band was pretty special. That set us up rather nicely for the band we were probably most looking forward to seeing, Rich Ragany and the Digressions.
