First Press is teaming up with Wax Equities for a special Record Fair at The Prince Albert on Sunday 4th May 12-4!
🍻 🎶 🎸 🍺 🥁
First Press has been bringing Record Fairs to Brighton for the past two years with a new cast of sellers and labels at every event, but this event brings in some of the South Coast’s finest - with Wax Equities travelling down the A27 with some of Portsmouth, Southampton and Chichester's best diggers in tow.
Wax Equities has been popping up in Brighton with top notch DJs at some of the city’s best vinyl spots, with all dayers at The Windmill and Hand in Hand over the past few months - this collab will be the first Record Fair here in town after some excellent days of digging at the other end of the county.
As always, FREE ENTRY
