The Reading Fringe Festival is a showcase for local talent in music, comedy and the arts, held in the lead-up to the Carling Reading Festival.
2005's fringe festival saw music ranging from Aqua Livae's roots reggae to Pure Reason Revolution's nu-prog, via the cartoon-ska-pop of sixnationstate, while people flocked to dance lessons, art exhibitions and comedy shows all over town. 2006 saw an even more comprehensive programme planned, with the festival branching out into film and theatre as well as music, art, comedy and dance. 2007 followed in the same vein as did 2008 and plans are now under way for 2009, the Fringes fifth year.
Reading has for a long time been a major player in the arts scene, playing host to the Carling Reading Festival, WOMAD and many others, and proudly boasts a thriving community of local musicians, actors, comedians, dancers and artists. The Reading Fringe Festival aims to nurture links between different fields, genres and cultures, and to actively seek out, encourage and promote new talent.

About this page: I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this.
