Welcome to "Imaginarium", a new, fantastic afternoon and early evening, mini prog rock festival, in Reading, Berkshire!

Imaginarium is featuring four acts. It takes place during the afternoon and first part of the evening, at the spacious and welcoming Face Bar, Reading, not far from Reading train station.

The four acts performing are:-

Carola Baer

Playing solo today, Carola's music is conveyed through her beautiful voice and expert keyboard playing. It is characterised by hypnotic ambient post alternative rock with a social conscience creating a lush sound that weaves emotional intensity with captivating lyrical expressions, story telling qualities, soundscape and emotive concerns.

Dandelion Charm

Dandelion Charm, husband and wife duo, Clare (vocals & percussion) and John (vocals and guitar) blend folk, prog and rock, with a sound reminiscent of the late '60s and early '70's. Think Fleetwood Mac meets Opeth, CSN meets Yes. Intricate harmonies and epic outros tell emotional stories of disfunction, joy and despair.

The Wood Demons

The Wood Demons are a five-piece band, featuring John Silver (bass) , Rick Startin (keyboards), Naomi Belshaw (violin), Ed Kontargyris (drums) and Simon Carbery (guitar). Drawing on a wide range of musical influences, they write original music with echoes of progressive rock, electronica, psychedelia, alternative rock, folk and classical.

Kindred Spirit Band

Kindred Spirit Band are a five-piece band, featuring the “perceptive and intriguing” songs, “haunting and beautiful” voice and rhythm guitar work of Elaine Samuels. They weave the thrilling electric guitar, of Piers Hogg, and flute, sax or cello, of Stevie Mitchell, with compelling and uplifting stories, driving bass, from Keith Buckman, and drum rhythms, of Paul Austin. They sing with beautiful harmonies, from Elaine, Stevie and Keith.
