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!
Are you only happy when it rains? Perhaps you feel glad all over? Or shocked (by the power of love). However you feel, come and express it with your vinyl at the next Record Club night – Emotions- on Saturday 1st February. Upstairs at The Triangle from 8pm.
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 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 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!
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!
Our final record fair of 2023 is coming up on Saturday 21st October. We’ll be open from 10am to 3.30pm with free entry, loads of stalls to browse and a bar. Why not make a day of it and visit Saltaire village. More details about our fairs and how to find Saltaire are here
