BBC broadcaster John Holmes has teamed up with Castle Rock Brewery to create a monthly record club
- A Pint and A Half of Vinyl. Having spent 50 years in the industry John has built up an impressive collection of vinyl that holds a lifetime of memories, from when he met Stevie Wonder to when he missed Jimi Hendrix because of a promise with a girl.
John, a BBC Radio Nottingham stalwart, said: “The idea of the record club happened when I started to write about these stories through my autobiography and social media - people began to share their love of vinyl with me, and what each album meant to them - the good and the bad - so I decided to create a monthly record club - similar to a book club - where people could meet up - bring their vinyl, share their stories and have a listen. And of course have a pint and a half or two.
“Teaming up with Castle Rock Brewery for the record club is a perfect match as both music and pubs bring people together. The brewery’s support of the research into how pubs can tackle loneliness highlights yet again that our communities need spaces to connect and opportunities to socialise. I hope the record club connects people of all musical tastes and all generation," he said.The record club launches on Wednesday October 5 at 7.
Each month, working through the alphabet, John will bring his favourite records of that letter accompanied by his lifetime of showbiz stories - and invites anyone interested to take along their favourite albums too.
