Record Store Day 2014
The Kelly Lee Band
|
We had a great turnout for Record Store Day 2014, thanks to everyone who came down to support their local independent record store. With live music a plenty in store, we had The Kelly Lee Band (featured right), a five piece band playing the best Bluegrass we had heard for a long time. They will also be playing our next Mini Record Fair at the Keep Pub (keep checking the website for details) Love Revolution (pictured below left), are Andy Prince and Anthea Nead. Playing late 60's acoustic folk akin to Vashity Bunyan, Andy plays a very lyrical bass and used to play with Sham 69 back in the day. Jamie Odonell Trio did not disapoint, a modern jazz trio led by my old saxophonist friend Jamie O’Donnell. They played classics by Charlie Parker and Canonball Adderley in the 1960s style for over two hours. Much to my delight :) We also has a full house of customers buying records while tapping their toes to the music (photo's further down), which kept us busy, thanks to you all. Ben (and everyone at Ben's Collectors Records). |
