In September we span some tunes about the Wild West. All on vinyl. There were loads more than we thought and we could have played well into the small hours but our horses outside the saloon bar were getting restless…
See the cards fate has dealt you at the next Record Club when we take on Tarot as our next theme. Bring your vinyl choices linked to the Tarot suits or just pop by, like many do, for a listen. Upstairs at The Triangle from 8pm on Saturday 5th July 2025. And no need to cross our palms with silver, this is a free event so save your money for the excellent bar!
The next monthly Record Club event on 5th April promises to be a treat – Sweet Tooth. Bring along your tunes (on vinyl) with links to sweets or sweetness. This is a theme begging to be stretched so we can’t wait to hear what you’ve chosen to play on our new decks! We’ll see you upstairs at The Triangle in Shipley from 8pm onwards.
Thanks as ever to Andy Mitchell (@c4g_illustration_and_design on Instagram) for the sweet artwork.
We’re lovers not fighters at Record Club but this month the gloves come off for War of the Roses as we ask you to bring your vinyl from the best of Yorkshire bands and artists plus the same from that lot over the Pennines. Who’ll win between John Shuttleworth and Ian Brown, Def Leppard and The Lovely Eggs or Chumbawamba and 10cc? Find out as our sparkly new decks start spinning at 8pm, upstairs at The Triangle, Bradford Rd, Shipley. See you there!
Kicked out of the band? Band mates all in rehab? Maybe it’s time to go solo. For our first event of 2025 bring your vinyl tunes related to solo careers or side projects. Or maybe it just has a really good solo? Upstairs from 8pm at The Triangle, Bradford Rd, Shipley from 8pm.
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.
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!
