Posted by This year we are opening out our ritual movie night of watching Empire Records on April 8th, #RexManningDay to the globe as a social viewing call to action for all our audience to share and take part in.
Whilst we are all practicing social distancing and couped up at home some our favourite venues and independent record stores are fighting to weather the challenges closing their doors presents.
Initiatives such as the Virtual Pint scheme, and #LoveRecordStores initiatives and many others are working hard to raise funds and awareness for local grass roots businesses and keeping vinyl moving online.
We therefore encourage all our audience to join us in purchasing a record from your local independent store online – shipped to your door.

Who knows, perhaps next year we could even team up with the gang at Warner Bros Film and Secret Cinema and bring this life – Stranger Things have happened!
We look forward to sitting in a cinema and visiting our local record store in person soon.
