The Tipping Point Live – Saturday 28th January 2017

Leave a comment

The Tipping PointAfter a short break over the festive period, Shipley Record Club is back with the first event of 2017.

Record Club stalwart Tony Painter regularly presents The Tipping Point, a programme on BCB Radio that plays music that crosses genres, continents and times.

Each programme tries to find links between performers, styles and themes to take listeners on a kind of journey.

At times this means that we hear well-known and much-loved pieces but at other times we visit some wilder territories where the music is more unusual and a bit less familiar.

Saltaire Festival pop-ups September 2016Saltaire is ace.

Just as the leaves start to turn brown and think about causing all kinds of railway related problems, the village decides to wring the final drop of summer out of the first weeks in September and throws a massive festival.

There’s music, food, comedy, stalls selling all manner of curiosities, bouncy castles, free tours of the fire station, and a general feeling of village-wide bonhomie, and this year, on the first Saturday of the whole shindig, there’s us…!

The June event is based round the theme of three little letters.

How many bands, artists, songs and albums of you know which consist of just three letters? When we discussed it we realised that there are, frankly, loads! So we’ll have a night of them.

Along with an album vote for the second one (please bring along your choice to add to the voting pile!) there will also be plenty of room for free play choices from everybody else.
