TODAY! What better way to spend a wet Sunday afternoon than listening to an eclectic mix of music? The wonderful thing about BYO Vinyl is that I never know what I'm going to play - and I always discover new music.
Bring along records 2-6pm to Clash at the Dartington Cider Press centre.

Here's the *actual* footage.

My daughter started an Art Foundation course this week. You would thinkparticipants would be fully engaged in popular culture. But - she was chatting to another young person, and they'd never heard of The Smiths or Joy Division. How is this even possible?!
