Berkshire, England, UK - A not-for-profit arts organisation is hosting events during October, as Reading celebrates the contribution of black people to the community through Black History Month.
Its events include the reggae open mic nights and workshops with RASPO as Reading begins its month-long celebrations of diversity in the community.
Reading All Steel Percussion Orchestra is also celebrating 25 years of bringing steel percussion to Reading.
....It was named in honour of the Trinidad All Steel Percussion Orchestra [TASPO], which was the first steel band to perform live in the UK at the Festival of Britain in 1951.
....Mary Genis, artistic director and founder of CultureMix Arts, said that people having access to a range of things to do is important, especially this month.
....The free children’s steel band workshops take place between 4.30-5.30 p.m. and over-18s workshops take place from 5.30-6.30 p.m. every Tuesday.
