Reading poster for 15 May

This is a bold black-and-white poster, cropped at the top, advertising New English on 15 May. A black panel gives the details: admission £3.50 from 9:00 until late, £2.50 before 10:00, and an address at 112 London Street, Reading. The very large lettering above the band name is cut off by the scan and cannot be read, so the poster does not itself confirm the venue’s name. No weekday or year is printed; 1987 comes from the label supplied with the scan and a later list. The billing reads New English rather than The New English, so the attribution rests on the name and the archive’s context. As an advertisement the poster shows a planned date, not that the concert happened.
