Some line-up.
In fairness.

The first festival of its kind anywhere in the world, VINYL will present the people who made the records that would define not just a number of eras but also their respective cultures.
It runs from Saturday, 5 May to Monday, 7 May and will take place in the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin. Additions to VINYL will be unveiled over the coming weeks.
Tickets for this unique music culture event go on sale this Thursday (March 29) at 9am via ticketmaster.ie…

Don’t really get the vinyl fetish. Best of luck to everyone involved but they’re giant coasters, albeit prettier than CDs. I realise that I will be burned at the stake for this heresy but I prefer hi-res streams.
I’m with you on this, the Emperor’s new clothes imho
Just buy the Pioneer PLX 500 and play a 35 year old piece of plastic on it and you’ll get it.
Yep. And stay well clear of Crosley Cruisers or anything that look like them. There’s a whole lot of cheap terrible record players out there, I’m not surprised so many people don’t see the point.
Old enough to remember these slabs of poor-grade plastic the first time round – I think Sheikh Yabooti compiled his festive fifty on ogham stones, mind – and I’m sure they’ll sound just as terrible now.
My parents had an 8-track.
There were plenty of terrible record players back then, too.
Liste to vinyl on a seventies system with a decent deck
Stunning
One of the best experiences is listening to Beethoven victory symphony on deutsche gramophone
On earphones
A whole battle played by orchestra remarkable
Or even the dark side of the moon
positivity for the Germans David
Beethoven my favourite composer
In later life he was as deaf as a post and while he was the composed stunning works
His fifth symphony overture was used by the BBC while all free men and women fought against the Reich
as for Wagner the choice of the Reich it gave me nightmares
I like it mostly because it looks cool on my bookshelf and helps me time how long I’ve been reading, or studying.
a couple of records is about 80 minutes studying in the evening, which is decent, and I’ve looked cool while doing it.
what ya studying Harry ?

Stephen Street is always a decent interviewee
+ 1
I also dig Eddie Piller and Martin Freeman – a very peppery character – as they’re both out and proud Mods.
Needle in the Groove – Mamas Boys :)

i would love to sit and listen to billy bragg. and also have a goo at rory gallagher’s collection.
The two that pop out at me there are Tracey Thorn because her new stuff is really good and James Lavelle because back in the day he really pushed the sampling envelope.
cillian murphy ?
Now if they would of got a line up of Dylan ,plant mc Cartney,maybe jagger,johnny Lydon
You could say shaped music
Many of the true great masters are dead but come on half of these were just pop singers
Maybe Simon Cowell and louis Walsh might drop in
A bit light on hip hop.
Yes the south Dublin wiggers won’t be happy.
Good one
it just sounds really cool.
I suppose it technically is the first in the world, seeing as a similar one in London was cancelled due to poor sales… http://www.factmag.com/2017/07/26/the-vinyl-festival-london-printworks-cancelled/
Tickets for that ‘up to £40’, tickets for this ‘from €119’.
Yep rip off Ireland
And the z listers
Watched a great doc on sky about Dylan Liam Clancy talks about the genius
Directed by Martin Scorsese
It shines a great light into how Dylan ticks
He was some operator with the civil rights
Watch it
Went from semi-positive to an arse biscuit again.
119 yoyos for this guff? Who are they kidding…
Sounds, er…groovy.
