1. The Global Café @ London Road, Reading

With Glastonbury in full swing, the ticketless Angels were left to find their own alternative entertainment in Reading.

2. Hedkandi at Sakura, Gun Street, Reading

When the much-loved Fez closed its doors earlier this year, the Angels felt that nothing could take its place, but we didn’t know the power of Sakura. Team the venue up with Hedkandi and the past is soon a distant memory.
