Purple Turtle sponsorship bands

[Clyde1998]

I thought I should post the bands who've been playing outside the East Stand as part of the Purple Turtle sponsorship deal, as it seems a lot of them will be small, local bands who people may not have been aware of.

14 Dec (vs Blackpool) - Only the Poets
26 Dec (vs Northampton) - Bevendene
29 Dec (vs Mansfield) - The Stretch

Seems it's 'The Verdaguers' today.

We're certainly getting into smaller bands now:

Spotify numbers:

1. Only the Poets - 115,351 monthly listeners / 89,386 followers
2. Bevendene - 333 monthly listeners / 456 followers
3. The Stretch - 372 monthly listeners / 534 followers
4. The Verdaguers - NA monthly listeners / 114 followers
5. Sonic Whip - 357 monthly listeners / 594 followers

Think it's great they'll get some good exposure!

Only The Poets were guests at a home game last season and, IIRC, Tommy, their lead singer, was interviewed at half-time. IMO a decent band with a big overseas following and likely to become much bigger and better known over the next couple of years. It will be good to be able to add a few more names to the 'famous people who support Reading' list!

Band good today- Royals fans. Were they called Rila’s Edge ??
