I put a call out through our Facebook group a couple of months ago for people to DJ at our monthly knitting hootenanny. I do it every 3 months or so as it’s a chance for people who come to the night to get involved. I also really like it as it gives me a chance to hear other peoples records.
Anyway the last call out I had a response from Fiona Cullinan. She’s someone who’s name I saw mentioned on Twitter but until a couple of things slotted into place in my mind (quite slowly and much later) I couldn’t quite place. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing with dates the DJ slot was booked.
In amongst the diary planning and equipment requests Fiona told me about an idea she and a few friends came up – a ‘bring your strange vinyl’ night. Everyone brings along their strange charity shop finds, Dad’s old LP’s and junk shop rarities for the DJ to play.
It sounded like a great idea – so stitches and hos presents Bad Records, Strange Vinyl was born. Bring along those 50p gems or fantastically titled vinyl and Fiona and her chums will play it.
