With Record Store Day just about done and dusted, we used our April event as a chance for people to play their recent purchases.

We did hope to have someone from Jumbo Records coming along, but it didn’t quite work out this time.

Instead we went with a last minute vote, and asked people to bring records along from artists featured in this or past year’s record store days. I think we just about got away with it!

This list of stuff available on the day, may still be around for a while if you are interested.

Pictures from the event are in our gallery.

The Wedding Present

Record Store Day 2013

The Wedding Present’s debut album made it onto our Record Store Day event via a tenous connection to Record Store Day. The Wedding Present have been releasing varoius interesting things for RSD, but we didn’t get hold of any of them, so instead we went for this classic instead.
