Get your nimble fingers at the ready...
Whether you’re a vinyl junkie looking to nab some new slabs, or just in search of somewhere to groove with fellow fans, Record Store Day can cause the streets to get a bit liveleh.
As stores across the city open early doors today and get their special stock ready, here’s our run down of where to spend RSD in Notts this year:
What? Records, Dubplates and Radio day [Unofficial RSD]
Where? The Carousel
When? 9am - 4pm
One of Nottingham’s newest venues opened up just in time, and will play host to Plates’ extensive selection of records, including some exclusive dubplates from local artists. Pop down to get yer fingers dusty, and have a listen to the City Beat Radio DJs who will be broadcasting live from the place all day.

Sneak down the colourful Cobden Chambers alleyway and you’re bound to find a gaggle of vinyl heads today. Forever Records is open from 8am, with folk invited to browse its special selection all day. They’ll be posting updates on social media when their specials have all sold out, but it’s sure to get busy, so your best bet is just to head down and get stuck in.

A big ol’ knees up is taking place at Four Four DJ Academy.

Once the browsing is done, crews from Quake, Soul Buggin, The Waves, Toe Szyslak and Wigflex will be providing the tunes.

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
