Vinyl Revival

Vinyl Revival is back at The Harris Café on Thursday 12 November, the latest in a fortnightly series that runs right here in Preston. If you've never come across it, the easiest way to describe it is like a book club, but for vinyl. The whole thing is built around the records you love, and you're the one who sets the agenda.

Here's how a session works: you bring along an album title of your choice and spend some time reflecting on it. You chat about your favourite record, share your opinion, and listen as others reminisce about theirs. While that's happening, the host works through a chosen title of their own. It's less about sitting in silence and more about talking through what you're hearing, so it's as much a social thing as a listening one. If you've got a record that means something to you, this is a good place to bring it and talk it through with other people who get it.

The sessions are aimed at adults and young people aged 16 and over, so it's a mixed crowd. Because it's a fortnightly gathering, it's something you can drop into once or make a regular habit of. If you're into records and enjoy talking about them, it's a straightforward way to spend a Thursday afternoon in the city.

It's free to attend, and you don't need a ticket to get in. Vinyl Revival runs at The Harris Café on Thursday 12 November, for adults and young people 16+.
