Book Overview

This is the Official Book of the Reading Festival that was published before, but the company went into liquidation and the rights have now reverted back to me . This is the book as I wanted it to be published back then, with all the interviews back in and in FULL, as they should have been. Fantastic book covering the Reading Festival (Carling Weekend) from its days pre-1971 outside of Reading, to its move to Reading in 1971 right through to the 2007 festival. The book features exclusive interviews with bands/artsists who have played the festival over the last 40 years and gives an insight into the greatest indie/rock festival in the world. All of the stories/interviews were carried out by Ian Carroll, who has made this book an amazing journey through music's famous names. The book includes such artists as: Classic Bands Whitesnake, Yes, Black Sabbath, Gillan, Scorpions, Suzi Quatro, Uriah Heep, Van Der Graaf Generator, MC5, Alice Cooper, Status Quo, Ted Nugent, Slade, Sha Na Na, The Jam, Sham 69, Supertramp, The Stranglers, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band Eighties Bands Twisted Sister, The Cult, Michael Schenker Group, Praying Mantis, Diamond Head, UFO, Judas Priest, Gary Numan, The Mission, The Wonderstuff, Marillion, Big Country Nineties Bands Faith No More, The Wedding Present, The Quireboys, Terrorvision, The Wildhearts, Carter USM, Gene, Senser, Therapy?, Helmet Modern Bands Oasis, Foo Fighters, Kaiser Chiefs, Maximo Park, Bloc Party, The Cribs, The Subways, BRMC, The Killers, Ordinary Boys, The Rakes, The Go!
