Merseybeat and the sound of LiverpoolThe next in our irregular city-based themed nights will be about Liverpool on Saturday 25th July.

Named by The Guinness Book of Records as the City of Pop and by a 2008 Arts Council survey as the UK’s most musical city, Liverpool has a rich, varied and massively influential musical history.  While the Fab Four will obviously spring to mind when thinking about the city’s musical pedigree, the list of bands and artists that have contributed to Liverpool’s reputation stretches wider than the Mersey.

Record club pops up for the first time!

We’ve plotted long and hard to try holding a pop-up record club and now the first one is coming. It’ll be at Shipley’s The Triangle, home of beer, art and vinyl, on Saturday 11th July from 2 to 4 pm.

There’s no theme this time, just bring along any interesting records you’d like others to hear. Of course we may also have a chance to plunder Triangle’s stock! The Triangle is usually takeaway only but they’ll have a full license that day, so it’ll be a great opportunity to listen, drink a beer and browse their selected pre-owned vinyl.

Undercover – 25th April, 2015 8pm

Our April record club meeting gives us a chance to listen to music as covered by other artists, with a bit of a focus on David Bowie. Have they brought out new fresh insights … or just destroyed the strengths of the originals? Tonight you’ll hear David Bowie cover his favourite UK artists from 1964-1967 in the first of two planned Bowie 1960’a nostalgia albums (the second never surfaced). You’ll also hear renowned drummer Dylan Howe’s recent take on Bowie’s 1970’s Berlin period. The third album choice have tracks that cover the full gamut of weird, wonderful and Wet Wet Wet. And of course there are the tracks that *you* will be bringing along…?

Space

**Updated with voting buttons 22 Feb**
As Ballboy once sang Space is brilliant! It’s so vast above our heads, such a place to marvel, to be inspired by – and so silent.

Space is also something we see around us every day back on terra firma. It’s what’s immediately around us. It what’s in our heads.

The possibilities of space are limitless.

We would like to try and have a Record Club that covers that breadth, that marvel – and unlike space, people feel they can just go to it….
