Vinyl Phones
The 3rd meet up of 2015 for vinyl enthusiasts under the umbrella ‘We Love Vinyl’ is happening on the 5th of April, Sunday. The vinyl meet revolves around music aficionados gathering and fun loving people listening & sharing their favorite music, past & present on vinyl. A great part is indulgence in this by gone music format that is undergoing a current worldwide revival. We proudly note that our meets preceded the worldwide revival.

So bring out and dust down your stored records and get into the groove with likeminded enthusiasts. Lean play on twin decks with our resident Dj or strutt your stuff anyway. Dig into crates of vinyl for sale, or come sell your unwanted. Spread the word on our movement. It’s a family affair.

Food and drinks are available. No charge at the gate other than your presence.
