Britain's Got Talent semi finalists The Jive Aces to perform in Reading

Recently back from their sell-out American tour, they'll be celebrating 21 years together in the same line-up and performing on Broad Street West between 12.30pm and 2.30pm.

The jive and swing band will be spreading their good cheer and encouraging passers-by to say no to drugs, as part of their tour.

The Jive Aces have supported the Truth About Drugs campaign for 20 years, giving concerts all over the world to raise awareness of the dangers of drugs and the solutions to the drug problems.

In that time they have achieved huge success by selling out the Royal Albert Hall, performing for the Queen and working with the likes of Hollywood stars John Travolta and Van Morrison.

Lead singer Ian Clarkson said: “People look up to musicians and see them taking drugs and think that they then have to use them to be a great artist.

"What they don’t realise is that without drugs they would be a lot happier, play a lot better and live a lot longer.”

Mr Clarkson continues: “When I was a teenager, I used to smoke grass and drink alcohol, but that lead me to unhappiness.

"I gave it all up. I then realised that it was imperative as a musician to take action against this social plague and so we have been supporting the campaign for over 20 years.

"Like most artists we want to change the world for the better through our art.”

The band, who are renowned for their colourful yellow suits, first met as teenagers.

The six-piece, who are all Scientologists, love to make feel-good music.

In fact their song Bring Me Sunshine was prescribed by a doctor in Seattle to cheer up patients suffering with depression.

The Truth About Drugs is a youth drug education and drug prevention campaign sponsored by the Church of Scientology. The programme educates children as young as six on the dangers of drugs, and encourages them to stay drug-free.
