Closer To Home presents: Patchy Blonde

Closer To Home are in residency at Oakford Social Club this Summer, as we showcase some brilliant local up and coming acts who you need to know. Our motto is “you shouldn’t have to go to London to see great live music” - as an independent promoter, we bring phenomenal artists from across genres to Reading. These line-ups feature acts who haven’t played here in way too long - coming back, Closer To Home.

In July it's the turn of Wokingham's Patchy Blonde to play her first headline with Closer To Home. Her own brand of rock is built on the alternative sensibilities of the likes of PJ Harvey and Andy Shauf, which she blends with her signature singing style - unusual but undeniably alluring. Opening up is Lydia Shute, a conversational songwriter also from Wokingham, who'll invite you on a journey from tears to euphoria. Second on are BUG, a new Reading band who'll up the tempo with their combination of the grunge of Deftones and the shoegaze of Slowdive.
