SMART Coffee Meet 88

SMART are back at The White Rock Hotel on Friday 6 November for their 88th coffee meet, and this one is built around seventies music and retro talk. It's a music friendship group that meets regularly in Hastings, and they call these get-togethers the SMART coffee meet. They're always open to new people, so if you've never been, this is as good a time as any to turn up.

The theme for the day is seventies music and retro talk, but the conversation doesn't stop there. The idea is to share music memories from the sixties onwards, so you're not limited to just one decade. It's a chance to talk about the records you grew up with, the ones that stuck, and the ones you've gone back to over the years. If you've got photos, records or old cuttings that fit the bill, bring them along to show the group.

SMART is a music friendship group that meets regularly, and their home is a blog that links to a Facebook group, smart70s, and to Johnny Mason, a DJ and proprietor of Masons Music Record Shop. The site's categories run with 'seventies music and retro talk', which gives you a good sense of where the group's head is at. It's less of a formal event and more of a get-together for people who just enjoy talking music.

So, if you've got a few old records or a handful of photos from the sixties and seventies that you've been meaning to show someone, bring them along to The White Rock Hotel on Friday 6 November. It's the 88th SMART coffee meet, and new faces are welcome.
