An essential date in the music lover's calendar is fast approaching: the Auckland Record Fair, or as it is otherwise called, A Record Love Convention. The next instalment is happening on Tuesday 6th February (Waitangi Day).
The twice-yearly event is organised by Truly Fine Citizen, aka the legendary Brian Wafer, who says:
Apparently All Aucklanders desert the city on long weekends. Untrue of course, but that is what has been said for years. With this in mind it was decided that Tuesday Feb 6th would be a great time to have the Auckland Record Fair.
What have we got?
Unsurprisingly , there will be Records. Heaps of them. Multiple vendors with all sorts of music on vinyl. Good, bad, desirable, unloved, overpriced, cheap as chips. Rare, common, unknown, obscure. The Record of your dreams might just be there.
Of course there will be CDs, Cassettes, VHS, DVD – whatever the vendors decide they need to move to feed their own habit.
So heaps of the good stuff, great DJs providing the soundtrack for the day, and the chance of undiscovered gems.
What more could you want?
***Some, but not all, vendors will have EFTPOS, so do bring some cash.
Entry: $10 from 9am (for the early bird scores), then $5 from 9.30am
Entertainment for the day will be announced soon.
