Weekly Sunday evening of drinks and vinyl, where guests bring their favourite records to play for the room at The Jenny Lind.
The Jenny Lind hosts its Weekly BYO Vinyl Night this Sunday 8 November, starting at 7.30pm. It's a regular in Hastings Old Town, and the pub bills it as pretty much the longest-running weekly BYO vinyl night in the South East of the UK, and possibly anywhere.
The format is as simple as it sounds: you bring along your favourite records and play them for the room over a drink. It's pitched as an easy way to wind down the weekend, and it works as a broad-church, friendly gathering where the music changes depending on who turns up. There's no set list and no professional DJ behind the decks — the people in the room provide the soundtrack.
Because it's a shared space, there are a few ground rules. Regulars are asked to be sensible and respectful and to avoid records that could plausibly offend. The organisers do make a point of mentioning that Black Lace's 'Agadoo' isn't banned, despite the violence it led to the last time it came out.

It runs every Sunday evening at 7pm, though the next session is listed for Sunday 8 November from 7.30pm at The Jenny Lind Inn, 69-70 High Street, Hastings, TN34 3EW. If you've got a record you've been meaning to hear on a proper system, this is the night to bring it.
