What a day!! Thanks so much to everyone who came along and made this one of our best yet 💥

Huge props to the Lido team who were fantastic as always, the 45day crew who soundtracked the day with some unreal sets, each and every seller who bought some frankly ridiculous records - the bar was RAISED, the fabulous Sri for her dope threads, Reloop for the top notch gear, Jen for her help on the day and always, and most of all everyone who showed up and did some serious digging!

By turning up not only did you go home with some great cuts (thanks to those who let us know what they found as pictured here..) but you supported your local record fair, helped keep the scene alive by buying direct from dealers and contributed to the fantastic work of Help Musicians, laying the framework for the record makers of tomorrow - a huge huge thank you to you all.

The good news keeps coming - we will be back, and soon! Get August 8th in your diary for our next record fair at the Brighthelm Centre! More to follow...

If you enjoyed today, share with a friend and come and say hi at the Earth and Stars the first Saturday of every month.

Thanks to you all and can't wait to go again, cheers everyone, George
