Those of a more sedate music persuasion could have been forgiven if they thought that Animal from The Muppets had been let loose on a set of drums in town today as Cam Cole brought his own inimitable blend of music to the streets of the Ding.
Labelled as a ‘dirty blues’ musician, Cam drawled into the mic at his street busking point opposite Lloyds Bank in the precinct as his drummer James Adams thrashed out a heavy beat on the sparse drum kit. Further into his repertoire, he ditched the overdriven and distorted guitar in favour of a banjo and launched into a manic track entitled “Rabbit”.
Though very different to what we usually experience on the streets of Reading, Cam Cole certainly shook things up a little and drew a crowd of listeners from the main thoroughfare and side streets.
