Fans of music in all its forms, especially on vinyl and CD, will descend on Dunedin from across the region this weekend for the Dunedin Record & Pop Culture Fair Vol. 6.<\/p>\n
The event, which will be held on Sunday, 11am-2pm, at Noisy Brewing Co in Anzac Ave, will include 17 vendors selling vinyl records, CDs, DVDs, tapes, posters and a selection of pop culture collectables.<\/p>\n
Fair co-organisers Scott Muir and Leighton Jones, both vinyl enthusiasts and collectors, have run the event several times a year since 2023.<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s event will be the sixth Dunedin Record & Pop Culture Fair.<\/p>\n
“We started buying and selling records online and thought it would be much more fun to do it in as much of a social environment as we could,” Mr Muir said.<\/p>\n
“And we all know music and craft beer go very well together.”<\/p>\n
The events had proven very popular, with hundreds of people turning up, some having travelled long distances, eager to browse the various offerings.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s great fun for the vendors and the shoppers \u2014 it\u2019s a chance for like-minded people to come together and talk about our favourite things.<\/p>\n
“There is a lot of really unusual stuff out there in people\u2019s collections, you can find some real treasures.”<\/p>\n
It had been good to see strong numbers of young people attending the fairs in search of interesting music, Mr Muir said.<\/p>\n
There had been a major revival of interest in vinyl records because they could be made more cheaply and were much more widely available than they used to be, he said.<\/p>\n
