Hello record clubbers, hope you’re all doing well.

We don’t usually do a session in August, but these are different times, so we hope you can join us ONLINE on Thursday 13th August for an evening of music from the 1990s.

It’s a decade we haven’t explored very much at record club, probably due to most of us buying stuff on CD or tape back then and neglecting poor old records. As a result, original 90s vinyl pressings now come with a hefty price tag. But we’re not going to let that stop us in the virtual realm!

From baggy, rave, grunge and Britpop, through to acid jazz, hip hop, drum & bass and more, tell us your favourite 90s artists, albums and tracks and we’ll play as many as we can on the night!

Some of you have already suggested tracks to play, but if you haven’t, there’s plenty of time to do that. Our Twitter and Facebook pages are the best places to get in touch, or you can drop us a line here if social media isn’t your thing.

Then all you have to do is open our live audio stream on Thursday night at 8pm. Just click this link and press play! https://www.mixcloud.com/live/GlossopRecordClub/

We’ll hopefully be hearing from some of the record club regulars who’ll be playing their favourite tracks from that decade alongside as many of the suggestions we’ve received. All you have to do is sit back and listen from the safety and comfort of your own home! We’ll be live tweeting throughout the night and doing our best to keep up with Facebook posts too, so please come and say hello.

Yes – phones ARE allowed at this record club!

So remember, stay at home and listen online.

NB: we’ll be using Mixcloud for our live stream, which seems to work best on a computer or mobile browser, but there is an app too if you want to give that a try. We’ll see how it goes!

VIRTUAL RECORD CLUB, 11 June 2020

Hello record clubbers, I hope you are all keeping safe and well.

It’s been three months since our last proper meet up, and although we’ve done a couple of pop-up radio shows in that time, we haven’t attempted anything resembling a regular record club session, so on Thursday 11 June, we’re going to give it a try and bring record club to you! Online, of course.

The theme for our virtual record club is 1980, and lots of you have already suggested tracks to play. There’s still time to do that if you haven’t done so already. Our Twitter and Facebook pages are the best place to do that, but you can get in touch through the website too if social media isn’t your thing.

Then all you have to do is open our live audio stream on Thursday night at 8pm. Just click this link and press play! https://livesets.com/glossoprecordclub/live

We’ll be hearing from some of the record club regulars who’ll be playing a few of their favourite tracks from that year alongside as many of the suggestions we’ve received. All you have to do is sit back and listen from the safety and comfort of your own home! We’ll be live tweeting throughout the night and doing our best to keep up with Facebook posts too, so please come and say hello.

Yes – phones ARE allowed at this record club!

So remember, stay at home and listen online.

Record Club update

by

0

Dear record clubbers,

As you may have expected, I have taken the decision to postpone our regular record club sessions for the foreseeable future and until such time it is same for us to resume.

Glossop Record Club is all about sharing music, and we’ll still be doing our monthly radio show for Radio Free Matlock, and we may even do some ad-hoc live shows in between. We’ll let you know if we do. We’ll asking for your shout outs and dedications for all of our radio shows. And of course, there are dozens of mixes from our seven years of meet-ups to keep you entertained on our Mixcloud page.

In the meantime, please support your favourite independent artists through Bandcamp rather than streaming services, and your favourite independent record shops by buying from them online. The same goes for our local shops and businesses.

But most of all, look after yourselves and help others where you can. Stay safe, stay healthy and we’ll see you soon.

Simon

Glossop Record Club is back on Thursday 9th January for the first of our new ‘Classic Album‘ sessions, playing Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours on vinyl and in full.

Released in 1977, it went on to become one of the biggest-selling albums of all time and has been an almost permanent fixture of ‘best albums’ lists ever since. We’ll briefly explore the band’s origins in the British blues boom of the late 1960s, their ever-changing lineup and the making of the album, before we play it in full.

Doors open at 8pm and the music kicks off at 8.30pm.
