Stompin Dave Goes Down a Storm
In what was probably the best festival crowd ever for a Saturday afternoon session, Stompin Dave led a line-up of local musicians in his own original style. He enjoyed himself so much he left his mojo behind and we've had to post it back to him!
Wallingford is a small, historic and picturesque market town located on the banks of the Thames midway between Henley and Oxford (and only ten miles from Reading).

The Regal Centre, tucked down an alley in the centre of the town, is reached either through the alleyway (pedestrian access only) leading off St Martin's Street or Goldsmith's Lane car park (the 'old' Waitrose car park). Parking is free after 6pm.

As well as Goldsmith's Lane car park (the 'old' Waitrose car park), additional parking is available at St Alban's car park (the 'new' Waitrose car park), off the High Street and at the Cattle Market car park, down St Mary's Street, turn left into New Road and then first right into Thames Street. (Both are within easy walking distance of the Regal)
