INTERNATIONAL RECORD STORE DAY!

On Saturday 19th April, The Basement Discs, Missing Link, Collectors Corner, The Last Record Store & Greville Records all plan to celebrate & join in the fun of International Record Store Day, where hundreds of independently owned & operated music stores around the world will celebrate the culture and unique place that they occupy in their community.

Basement Discs will be raising the roof all day!  From 12.00 midday, there will be a 'Round Robin' in-store performance, featuring LISA MILLER, CHRIS WILSON, JEFF LANG, ABBIE CARDWELL, CHARLES JENKINS, MIKE RUDD & BILL PUTT (Spectrum), & LIZ STRINGER, performing a couple of songs each & running through till around 2.00.

There will be a music themed Q & A quiz with prizes for correct answers  (packs of CD's, posters, t-shirts, bottles of bubbly, a six pack or 2, vouchers, free passes etcetera).  Hell, we may even give away some prizes for incorrect answers, if they're funny enough!!

And a set flat-rate discount across the board on everything in the store for that day only.

Very family friendly of course, cheese & biscuits and fruit juice...and so on.

The day is about raising consciousness, a day to remind people how exciting and interesting and fun it is to go into a REAL record store.  To hear some live music, have the opportunity to listen to recorded music in-store (of their choice, rather than designated "listening stations"!!), the tactile & visual feast that is so much a part of flipping through racks in really good music stores, and the joy of interacting with other music lovers, discussing new releases & re-issues with equal fervour. *koff*fervor*koff*

A day in which to think about and participate in the major contribution that indie stores (in general, not just music stores, of course)  actually make to the cultural fabric and personality of a Community/City/State/Country, and to remind us all that they are part of the "here & now" and not to be spoken of in nostalgic terms.  It's about getting out & supporting independent stores right now and ensuring that they continue to be a treasured part of our cultural landscape.

Come on in & join in the fun...it should be a great day!
