Sheer Isolation 96 Ian Fiddes (Vinyl Daze)
Manage episode 328431406 series 3278563
Our guest this week spends his time touring the south of England and Wales - hosting more than 80 events every year.
Ian Fiddes runs the Vinyl Daze Record Fairs, where dealers gather to sell vinyl of every style and age to the public.
With some events attracting 20+ dealers, shoppers can find classics, rare pieces and the latest releases all under one roof.
As well as running events as far south as Cornwall and as far west as Tenby, Ian also regularly checks in to Cirencester, Wells and Dursley.
He tells us how he got into the world of record fairs, how some of his rarest finds have ended up in Australia, and why Kieran's genre of choice, 90s indie rock, is like gold-dust to collectors.
We also feature a couple of tunes - the first is from a songwriter who's well-known in his home country of Ireland, Jack Lukeman. He'll be performing in Trowbridge next week at a far more intimate gig than he's used to playing back home.
Ian chooses a track off the latest album from Bristol's Idles.
We also run through some of the festivals and gigs coming up this month, including the headliners of this year's Lechlade Festival.
