Saturday (23rd) sees the return of Record Store Day (RSD) to Ventnor Exchange, the Isle of Wight’s only official RSD outlet.
As well as the special RSD vinyl releases – which usually results in queues outside the Exchange well before opening time (see full release list) – there’ll be all sorts taking place throughout the day.
Expect live music from the likes of Cara Goodrem, Romy Helen and Ulysses Wells, as well as tunes from the decks by Sunday Soul, KafTan and DJ Gary C.
Some of the young DJs from Brave Island will also be hitting the decks with Ed Eldridge to show off their newly acquired skills. See the Ventnor Exchange Website for the day’s lineup.
