Fair Play Record Store Day Fair at Behind Closed Doors, Manchester 21 April 2018 Entrance is free

Fair Play, which hosts evening record fairs in Northern Quarter cocktail bar Behind Closed Doors, makes a special extended appearance to mark Record Store Day. Opening its doors earlier than usual at 1pm for this RSD special, the fair offers a room full of vinyl from a rotating selection of sellers invited from across the country.

With DJs playing well into the night, Fair Play is as much a social outing as a chance to bag that rare slice of vinyl you’ve been searching for.
