Uneasy Easy Listening with Mike Cooper & Alan Clayson
Fri 22 May Doors: 7:30PM Starts: 8:00PM £11 advance / £12 on the door

Two legends of Reading’s music scene return to the Rising Sun Arts Centre for an evening of experimental sound, storytelling, and genre-defying performance.

Mike Cooper brings his acclaimed DNA (Digital Nomad Arts) project, blending electric lap steel guitar, voice, live sampling, looping, ambient electronics and exotica.

Alan Clayson’s rare solo performances move between song, monologue, humour and unease in a style entirely his own.

Expect an unforgettable night of Uneasy Easy Listening.
