The Old Kings Arms, on Town Street in Horsforth, were proud to hold a vinyl and craft market.
Several outlets were selling their goods. Vinyl Whistle and Vinyl Genie were present for collectors of music in the physical form of vinyl records. The music on offer was vast. All sorts of genres were available.
Simon Hodges of Plan B records provided some rare examples of vinyl, dance music from the 1990’s, amongst other things, was available from his stall.
The event was organised by Richard Heald and Lyndsey Acaster and there was more to offer than just music.
Richard Heald, set up his stall selling his items of photography. You can find more information here.
Frame The Wall, a business run by Carla Prater and her husband David, were selling their prints. They specialise in taking prints from the past and restoring them to their “former glory” for anyone who wants to add some vintage artwork to their home. They will set up again in various local places before the end of the year. More information here.
Oscar Jennings, an eleven year old kid was selling his 3D prints made from a bioplastic called polylactic acid (PLA) which he manufactured in his kitchen using the equipment which was bought for him as a christmas present by his mother Laura Jennings.
The fair was followed by performances from DJ enthusiasts on the equipment provided by the Old Kings Arms.
They plan to hold regular open decks sessions. They will host this regularly to encourage people to show their skills of mixing music on vinyl turntables. This has become a lost art with the emergence of modern equipment.
