There is no such a movie yet. Where is the movie? Local listings magazine Blah Blah also gave us some fantastic coverage. They even put a little 4 page pullout in their August issue which is fantastic. Their editorial has some interesting points. They mention that the Fringe is at the same time as Edinburgh Fringe - have to say, before this year I didn't realise that - and they think that because of that, and the fact that a lot of people are away in August is the reason the Fringe programme is mainly live music orientated. They suggest doing it a different month next year. It is true that the programme is mainly live music, but I think the reasons for having it in the week running up to the Carling Weekend are pretty convincing. It is a time when the national media focuses it's attention on Reading anyway and it's a good way to present the story. Our outlook has always been that tens of thousands of people descend on Reading for The Carling weekend and then leave again without really knowing what great arts are in Reading all year round the other people I really want to reach are local people who go to the festival and don't realise there's all this local talent.
