Reading’s finest tongue-in-cheek country-rock star
Damien A. Passmore has been delighting audiences in Reading and beyond for many years with his particular blend of tongue-in-cheek country rock. Whether it's solo or with his band The Loveable Fraudsters, you can expect to hear the tallest of tall tales, with songs about Mail Order Brides, Roadkill Chefs and Canal Boat Hangovers.

The Ta Das Choir

Saturday 14:00 - 14:30

Small Strings Stage

‘Take a drink and sing' - wine is integral to our singing, as is the fine company of friends.
Started just over 4 years ago in April 2022 and based in Mortimer, the Ta-das are maturing nicely together to create a distinctive vintage: cool and crisp like a good chablis; fresh and fruity like a Pinot and bubbly and elegant like fine champagne. We sing an eclectic mixture of songs and we are an eclectic group of women who could probably - if given the chance - run a small country with the array of talents in the room. But it is singing that brings us together - not world domination. Not yet anyway.
