The three-day Skittle Alley Weekender is a free avalanche of live music that will take place on 24, 25 and 26 August at the Railway Inn in Culham. Free is always good, although in this case any kind donations that are made will go to charity, and charity is always good too. Bank holidays are good, so although the Weekender takes place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you’ll have the Monday to recover from excited appreciation of the following who are lined up to play during the three days:
