An essential date in the music lover's calendar is fast approaching: the Auckland Record Fair, on Tuesday 6 February (Waitangi Day), running from 9am–2.30pm at the Freeman's Bay Community Centre.
The twice-yearly event is organised by Taranaki music legend Brian Wafer, who says: "With only the people of good taste and refinement left in the City there should be plenty of parking and no long queues anywhere. What have we got?
Unsurprisingly, there will be Records. Heaps of them. Multiple vendors with all sorts of music on vinyl. Good, bad, desirable, unloved, overpriced, cheap as chips. Rare, common, unknown, obscure.
The record of your dreams might just be there. Of course there will be CDs, Cassettes, VHS, DVD – whatever the vendors decide they need to move to feed their own habit. Some, but not all, vendors will have EFTPOS, so do bring some cash.
So, heaps of the good stuff, great DJs providing the soundtrack for the day, and the chance of undiscovered gems. What more could you want?
