READING'S VERY OWN TARTED UP BOOZER...



We like to do things differently at the Oakford Social Club. Music is everything to us, which is why we put the best bands from across the country on our neon lit stage every week (check our programme!), and the most entertaining and off-centre DJs imaginable on Fridays and Saturdays.

The attention to detail doesn't stop there though. At the Oakford Social Club you'll find plenty of nooks and crannies to seek solace, while sipping on your Brother's Pear Cider, Frulli strawberry beer or a good old fashioned pint of bitter. If you need a breath of fresh air, our tree-lined patios are open year-round, with heaters and umbrellas helping you to adapt to the elements.

And let's not forget the food (The full menu can be found on our blog) which includes hearty pies and home-cooked Sunday roasts that your Mum would be proud of.

We can be found on 53 Blagrave Street, Reading... Just opposite the station... Call us on 01189 594267.

WELCOME TO THE OAKFORD SOCIAL CLUB!

NOVEMBER ISSUE OUT NOW!

GRACE JONES
After two decades in self–imposed exile, Grace Jones returns to music with new album Hurricane. Plan B meets the self–proclaimed Corporate Cannibal: part avenging angel, part black devil, a true force of nature.

OF MONTREAL
Nine albums in, and the transformation of Athens, Georgia indie dramatists Of Montreal is complete. Plan B bags a front–row seat as master of ceremonies Kevin Barnes raises the curtain on a grotesque, glittering vaudeville show featuring creatures real and imaginary, neuroses come to life, bared bodies and souls, and seductive, compulsive pop.

MOHA!
For the latest In Praxis, Plan B's ongoing series on the process of music–making, we meet MoHa!, Norwegian punk deconstructionists pitting experimental electronics against skronk–jazz and watching sparks fly.

JUANA MOLINA
Levitate awhile with Juana Molina, the Argentinian pop sorceress conjuring voice and rhythm into luminous songs that balance beauty and agitation.

PLUS
Jahdan Blackkamore, El Guincho, Cats In Paris, Madonna, The Wave Pictures, Vivian Girls, Crystal Antlers, Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore, Antony And The Johnsons, The Bug, Wookie, Chairlift, In The Mix: Fortuna Pop, The Beehive: Music Of The Opposition, The Guillotines, Izza Kizza, Petit Mal, Danielson, Roisin Murphy.
