Ah the 7 inch single. Three minutes of magic. Pure pop joy on a black plastic disc….
For our final event of 2016, this month we celebrate the wonder of the 7 inch single with the night devoted to 7 people each playing, well 7 of them. Although we know its been done before elsewhere, thanks to Darren we are bringing it Record Club.
This month we are delighted to join the fringe programme of the Shipley Street Arts Festival, celebrating the best in national and regional street performers and musicians.

For this event the reins were handed over to Rob for a 12″ Singles night. He had a great response from people offering to bring records along, and Rob put together a great playlist, which he kept secret until the night. He teased us before hand with this;
“You can expect to hear tracks from the following:
Burial, Aphex Twin, Frankie GTH, Future Sound of London, Baby Ford, Grandmaster Flash, ABC, S Express, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, My Bloody Valentine, Yello, Kraftwerk, Orbital, New Order, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Roxy Music, The Mission, Bauhaus, DJ Shadow and (as they say) much much more! And maybe even the Thompson Twins.”
During the evening there was time for a free-play section, where those that had brough their own stuff along got to play it.
