Our next event celebrates love songs. All played on vinyl. But they don’t need to be all drippy to qualify. The stranger the better! Can’t wait to hear what you bring.
Upstairs at The Triangle, Bradford Road, Shipley. From 8pm.
Our next event has a watery theme as we don our life jackets to explore oceans, seas, rivers and lakes. So bring along your aquatic vinyl and let’s hear what you’ve got.
We’re upstairs at The Triangle from 8pm until 11pm. See you there!
Our second event of 2023 is nearly upon us.
Bring along some vinyl to play on the theme of Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. Perhaps your troubles seemed so far away… was today a fairytale… but then again tomorrow never knows?
Upstairs at The Triangle from 8pm. See you there!
The Saltaire Record & Retro Fair is back for 2023! As usual we’ll hold three fairs on the third Saturday of March, July and October.
The first fair of 2023 is on Saturday 18th March at The Caroline Club, Caroline St., Saltaire. Doors open at 10.00am until 3.30pm
It promises to be another great event packed with stalls and hosted by the friendly Shipley Record Club folk who’ll also be providing an eclectic mix of tunes through the day.
There’s a bar at the club as well as plenty of places in Saltaire to eat and drink. Make it a day out!
More details can be found at our sister site saltairerecordfair.org.uk, where you can also find contact details if you fancy booking a stall at a future event. See you there!
This month we explore the connections between music and literature. Paul will be taking the reins and playing, in full, Song of Innocence by David Axelrod, his 1968 debut and with links to William Blake’s collection of poems Songs of Innocence.
He’ll also be playing at least one side of Scritti Politti’s melting pot of politics, linguistics and philosophy Songs to Remember and The (mighty) Fall’s This Nation’s Saving Grace, with its own links to Anthony Burgess and Fritz Leiber.
And in between all those there’ll be space to play your own literary linked choices, so bring some of your own vinyl to play too. Or just come along and have a listen.
We’ll be starting uptairs at The Triangle at 8pm sharp(ish) and putting a brake on the wheels of steel around 11pm. There’s great drinks available downstairs at The Triangle and great company and music upstairs. A proper decent night out. See you there!
What are the pearls in your record collection? Which titles shine like a diamonds?
Perhaps you dig the Detroit Emeralds? Ruby Turner? Jewel perhaps? Grandaddy’s Crystal Lake? The Stones’ Ruby Tuesday? Prince’s Diamond & Pearls?
Why not bring along your shining examples to the next Record Club on Saturday 4th June at The Triangle in Shipley. As ever, our themes are there to be stretched to breaking point. We’ll be starting upstairs at 8pm and running through until 11pm.
See you there!
Our next event at The Triangle celebrates records with spoken word content. That could be the whole record or just elements within.
So, think Martin Fry’s pondering self pity in ABC’s The Look of Love, Arlo Park’s opening poem in Collapsed in Sunbeams or the collage of samples used in The Avalanches’ Frontier Psychiatrist and you’ll be along the right lines.
But don’t let that stop you exploring less trodden paths. Like all themed nights at The Record Club, the more tenuous the connection you find the better. Challenge accepted?
See you upstairs at Shipley’s finest ale / art hang out The Triangle from 8pm.
Themes are back!
Join us at our April event, when we celebrate cover versions. Bring along your favourite alternative rendition of a classic (or indeed a lesser known original version of a much better known later version).
Saturday 2nd April from 8pm, upstairs at the Triangle in Shipley.
March is a really busy month for Record Club. There’s lots to tell you about and we hope you can get involved in at least some of what is going on in the next few weeks. So, without further ado…
Monthly event at The Triangle – Saturday 5th March
We are now back up running every first Saturday of the month at our regular home, The Triangle in Shipley.
We are keeping things simple while we continue to find our feet so this will be another unthemed night.Just bring along a few of your favourite records to play to an appreciative audience. Or if you fancy just kicking back and having a listen and a chat with your mates over a drink, that’s good too.
The wheels of steel start turning around 8pm and we finish around 11pm. You can find us upstairs and the bar is downstairs!
Record Club on BCB Radio – Tues 8th & Thurs 10th March
Two shows for you this month, you lucky things…
On Tuesday 8th March we will be broadcasting an International Women’s Day special on BCB Radio. This went down a treat a few years ago and presenters Katie, Judith, Jen & Anne-Marie have finally been persuaded back behind the mic for a much-anticipated 2022 follow up. Not to be missed.
As a result, our regular 4-weekly show is being moved back from its usual Tuesday slot by a couple of days to 9pm on Thursday 10th March. This month’s theme for Rob & Will to explore is Real People.
Record Club at Sup, Shipley Market Square – Saturday 12th March
We’re pleased to be supporting this local Beer Festival showcasing a “top notch array of beer, food and eclectic music”. Shipley legends The Triangle, The Fox, Cap and Collar and The Salt Beer Factory will be supplying the beer while amazing food will come from Hullabaloo, Mozzafella and Il Pirata.
And as a bonus between 12pm and 2pm Tony and Darren, two Record Club regulars, will be providing the eclectic music element from the DJ stage under the guise of “some of West Yorkshire’s Finest DJs”. No pressure, fellas!
It’s an event not to be missed, all undercover under a “stretchy tent” running all day from 12pm and well into the evening until 10pm. For more info follow @supbfd on Instagram.
Saltaire Record Retro Fair, The Caroline Club, Saltaire – Saturday 19th March
And to cap off a hectic March we also have the not-so-small matter of the Saltaire Record & Retro Fair at The Caroline Club.
Now in it’s 4th year under the stewardship of The Record Club and jam packed with stalls, records and pop culture ephemera. We’re really chuffed with the support we get from everyone for these fairs, stall holders and public alike, and we can’t wait to see you again for some top-notch crate digging.
As usual, various Record Club folk will be supplying the soundtrack from a tiny corner of the stage and the Caroline Club bar will be open too. Doors open at 10am, it’s free entry, and we’ll bidding you farewell at 3.30pm.
Phew! We did say there was lots going on. Hope you can join us along the way! And keep an eye on our twitter, instagram and Facebook feeds for more info.
Ok, let’s keep it brief. We had such a good time on our return in November we’ve decided to do it all over again!
Like last month there’s no theme. Just bring some tunes and grab a spot on the pre-loved wheels of steel. Or just bring yourself to sit, drink, chat and listen. All at once or in a sequence of your choosing. We’re not fussed.
We’ll look at getting a bit more organised for 2022 (any suggestions please let us know). But for now it’s just great to finally be back and meeting friends old and new again, upstairs at the mighty Triangle. See you on 4th December!
