Record Store Day is held in April every year with the aim of promoting independent music venues and artists. This is the first proper return of celebrations since Covid which has seen scaled back events take place. This year will mark the 15th annual global record store day.
Additional record fairs are taking place across the city starting this weekend with two independent events. As independent music stores and venues close across the UK, there has never been a better time to get collecting. The vinyl industry has been turning the tables on slow sales in recent years with more 5 million albums sold in the UK in 2021.
Record fairs offer a chance for fans to connect and collect with other enthusiasts as well as the chance to find that rare collectors item. Here are some of the best places to go 'crate digging' over the next week.
