In November 2024 we brought along vinyl that had tracks or artists with single letters somewhere. Among the 50+ tracks played on he night we heard from CSS, T-Rex, Boney M, ABC, S Express and tracks such as Bowie’s “DJ”, Los Bitches’ “FFS” and Randy Newman’s “I Love LA”.
In October 2024 we brought along our vinyl along the theme of dreams and aspirations. Among the artists played were Bob Dylan, CMAT, Kate Bush, Sonic Youth, Jimmy Cliff and Courtney Marie Andrews.
In September we took the law into our own hands with a night of Cops and Robbers themed vinyl. Among the artists we played were The Prodigy, Desmon Dekker, Bridewell Taxis, The Smiths, Supergrass, Thievery Corporation and Julianna Hatfield. The full list from the night can be seen on the photos below from our sophisticated Tune Database Electronic Display Unit.
Our August event, Gone But Not Forgotten, was an opportunity to play music from artists no longer with us but still cherished.
We had far more questions than answers at Record Club this month. But none of the records anyone played were questionable and another great night at The Triangle was had by all.
Tunes about triangles, songs about circles, discs about dodecahedrons? Be there or be square. 8pm on Saturday 1st June upstairs at The Triangle in Shipley.
7s, 12s, 10s… as long they played at 45rpm on the 4th of the 5th (geddit?) A busy night. Queues at the decks!
We spent a night playing tunes among the deities and the demons but the spirits remained unsummoned.
Back for another year, it’s the Saltaire Record Retro Fair at Caroline Street Social Club, brought to you by the fine folk of the Shipley Record Club. We have three events for you in 2024, the first is on 16th March.
We won’t change a winning formula. There’ll be friendly stallholders and stalls crammed with records and pop culture ephemera, free entry, a bar and a cool soundtrack to accompany your browsing brought to you by Record Club DJs. Doors open at 10am. More details in the link above.
And when you’re done there’s loads more to explore in Saltaire village – the Mill, the park, plus some great shops and places to eat and drink. A proper day out!
Is your weekend lacking direction? Why not find your way to The Triangle, Bradford Road, Shipley on Saturday 2nd March for a night of compass-themed vinyl, the more tenuous the theme the better! Bring it, play it! See you from 8pm, upstairs at The Triangle. Free entry!
