Bring Your Own Vinyl Night 30th November 2018

The next Bring Your Own Vinyl Night will take place on Friday 30th November 2018 at the Queens Head Pub Mold, 8pm till late. 
The idea is that people can bring their own vinyl along on the night and then have a session on the decks playing whatever they choose from any genre or era. We will also be celebrating our 5th Birthday!
This is a great way to socialise with other individuals passionate about music and to discover new artists you didn't know existed. I will be on hand to help individuals who have not used a DJ set up before. We will again be recording the night so you can listen again at your leisure on our new Mixcloud page.
Check out the Mixcloud page here: https://www.mixcloud.com/Halcyondreams/

Also, we will be providing the music at the next VOD Music record fair at Ty Pawb, Wrexham on the 24th November 2018. Hope to see you all there!

We will also be participating in National Album Day by playing a classic album in its entirety at 3.33pm. This is shaping up to be a great day, so hope to see you all there!
