# Reading poster for 15 May

> This bold black-and-white poster advertises New English on 15 May 1987 at 112 London Street, Reading, the home of the Paradise Club. A black panel gives the details: admission £3.50 from 9:00 until late, or £2.50 before 10:00. The very large lettering above the band name is cut off by the scan. The billing reads New English without the The, as it does in some of the fanzine pieces. Reading was an important town for the band, with shows, a local listings sheet and a fanzine that covered it more than once.
