VOD Music started the Record Fairs way back in 2006 and is approaching its 100th event.

Organiser Colin said .....You just never know what you will find at a record fair, they are also great social occassions for like-minded music lovers, so many friendships have been forged over the years at these events and seeing the joy of people just having a great time is definately the most rewarding part for us.

The venue is once again the historic Tram Shed on Pacific Road in Birkenhead and takes place on Saturday 1 October with 30 record stalls bringing record dealers from all over the UK.
