For us the build up to RSD started last December and here we are now post RSD,where did the time go? Thanks so much for such an amazing day last Saturday, the support was incredible.
From Paul the first arrival at the shop 2pm Friday...yes Friday, just the small matter of a 19 hour wait for opening time and for all those who joined the queue, It was such a cold night but the sense of community and good humour seemed to get them through it. We opened about 8.30am and Paul first in promptly found the Friels Cider hidden vinyl nabbing himself a FREE Rega turntable, what a start.Tony was next up with a FRRE crate of Friels cider.We cant stress how much YOU all being there meant to us, its more than sales its an annual coming together cementing our love for real music.Our Record Fair by all accounts was very busy and the Live Music at the venue very well received.Big thanks to Tom and Pat,Sophie and James(team VOD) for such a great job upstairs at the Daniel Owen Community Centre, i did manage to catch Trecco Beis, what a great band and thoroughly nice lads as was Ennio the Little Brother who is also one to watch with his unique style, check out Mai68 for more and info on other artists on the label.The addition of a licensed bar seemed to work well and one we may revisit in the future.
All in another day to remember, it was our 10th RSD and year on year it just gets better.
So for now A BIG, BIG THANK YOU, the success of the day is down to you not us....
Cheers-Colin
