There are just a few days left for young musicians to apply for the opportunity to play live at Ventnor Exchange on Record Store Day (RSD) – 22nd April 2023.
Megan Stisted from Brave Island explains,
“On Record Store Day, Ventnor Exchange hosts a day of live music in their record shop and bar, and we’ve got a slot for a band/solo artist up for grabs.
“The performances are usually in a stripped back style, so this wouldn’t suit a full band performance, however we welcome you to adapt your music to suit a daytime cafe/shop vibe.”
What is Record Store Day?
Record Store Day is an annual celebration of the culture around independent record stores.
Megan continued,
“Many artists put out limited edition releases especially for the event, so for many vinyl enthusiasts it’s an important day for the year.
“Ventnor Exchange has been celebrating Record Store Day for eight years and this year was selected as one of just 12 stores in the country to be spotlighted.”
Busiest day of the year
There’s always a great vibe throughout the day at Ventnor Exchange on annual Record Store Day, with live music and DJs adding to the atmosphere.
The evening sees the return of the ever-popular Big RSD Quiz, which is always great fun to take part in.
