It's National Album Day and we teamed up with The Bedford Clanger to find out the albums that matter to #Bedford. Lots of inspiration here and we discovered a few new favourites in the process! #NationalAlbumDay

So the lovely people at [PIAS] sent us a big box of goodies for our birthday lucky dip that got a bit lost on their way to #Bedford. That means we get to extend our fundraising for Living It Up Events! Help yourself to goodies for a donation - be quick, when they’re gone they’re gone!

Get on this #Bedford! We £$%^&* love Children of Zeus - Travel Light is one of our favourite records of 2018.

Don't forget to check out what goodies Vinylbarn has for you today #Bedford!

Happy #NewReleaseFriday ! New music from John Grant, long lost Memphis Primal Scream recordings and Goatman of Goat presents us their #record on rather lovely swirl #vinyl

Beta Band 2018 remasters are here! We’re that chuffed about it that when you buy Beta Band or Three EPs you can get Alien Stadium’s (aka Steve Mason and Martin Duffy) Livin’ In Elizabethan Times for £10. Bargain.

Join us for a night of tales from the mad world of record retail with the man himself, Graham Jones!
Graham Jones has spent 32 years travelling the UK selling to independent record shops and visited more record shops than any other human. His new book 'The Vinyl Revival And The Shops That Made It Happen' guides you around the record shops of the UK who sell new vinyl. He has gathered some fascinating and funny anecdotes told to him by our much-loved record shop staff so that ...when you visit you will feel like you already know the characters behind the counters. It is perfect for vinyl fans to keep with them on their travels around the country.
Graham will be telling anecdotes from the bonkers world of record retail, with a pop quiz for you competitive types at Slide Record Shop on November 22. There'll also be goodies for attendees and we'll be collecting donations for Living It Up Events.
The event is FREE and BYOB, with nibbles provided. You will need to book a ticket and the awesome people at Beerfly will give you 20% off delicious craft beer* to enjoy on the night. Just show them your ticket to get your discount.
*Up to 10 bottles or cans. We've all got homes to go to...
