Occasionally we hit on a theme for our events which demand repeating. Charity Shop Finds is one such theme. Last held back in September 2016 we had such a blast we knew we had to do it again. The surprise is that it has taken so long.

The rules are simple. Go to your local charity shop(s), buy some vinyl (the weirder and wackier the better) and come along and play it. The charity benefits and we all have a particularly eclectic evening. For instance, last time we enjoyed Hawaiian Wedding Music, Steel Band Music, Mrs Mills, The Readers Digest Guide to Rock, PiL, Nina Simone, Electric Boogaloo, Noel Coward, Adamski, Boney M, Carly Simon, Geoff Love (& His Orchestra of course), Syd Barrett, Mrs Mills, 808 State… And the much loved Molly O’Day and The Cumberland Mountain Goats.

Join us upstairs at The Triangle from 8pm onwards.

Summer seems to have been here for ages and (phew) what a scorcher it’s turned out to be. It’s like 1976 all over again.

To celebrate this unexpectedly pleasant turn of events (although a little rain would go down well actually) we are going to hold an event in August, something in our 7+ years we have rarely done because of holidays and stuff.

So, our theme this month will be your favourite summertime tunes. On vinyl. And hopefully they won’t melt or warp in the heat. Bring along any vinyl you think meets the criteria (7s, 10s, 12s, singles and LPs…) and play it for the enjoyment of everyone there (or ask someone to do it for you).

Since we moved venues to The Triangle nearly a year ago it’s been great to see so many new faces coming along. If you’ve not been yet please don’t be shy. It’s not a club as such, there’s no membership or anything. We’re just a bunch of folk who enjoy meeting up once a month (and sometimes more) and playing great music on vinyl, having a chat, a few drinks and generally just getting along. Some great friendships have been made at Record Club.

We’ll start spinning the tunes upstairs at 8pm and wrap things up about 11.30pm. There’s plenty of drinks to choose from in The Triangle’s bar downstairs, with excellent advice from Gavin and Andrew if the choice is a little overwhelming (there’s loads!) And there’s often a few free-of-charge Indian snacks to enjoy too.

So what are you waiting for? Slap on the factor 50, don the knotted hanky and join us to play some summertime sizzlers on 4th August.

You can count on The Record Club to come up with a theme calculated to divide opinion. However, you could easily multiply your fun by coming to The Triangle from 8.00pm on Saturday 2^ndJune, adding to our crowd, taking a beer (or two) and listening to a wide range of records that all feature numbers!
