Off The Record returns to @ilovecherryreds in Birmingham this Thursday at 7pm, where we'll be playing through Patrick Wolf's 2023 Night Safari EP and building a group playlist of artists who've enjoyed a creative rebirth between releases. We'd love you to join us!

🐂🖤 🔨🎨

[Off The Record @OffTheRecordBHM]

@ilovecherryreds Whether you already know the artist, or whether this will be your first time hearing the material, we'd love to see you and hear your thoughts!

[Off The Record @OffTheRecordBHM]

We're back in the Bosta Room of the mighty @ilovecherryreds on Thursday evening, to play through Patrick Wolf's Night Safari EP and then build a group playlist with the theme "Creative Rebirth"! We'd love to see you there to share your thoughts and musical recommendations!

[Off The Record @OffTheRecordBHM]

@ilovecherryreds We'll be kicking off the night around 7:30pm with a short intro before pressing play on the EP. Once it's done, we'll have a break, then chat about what we've heard, before everyone is invited to share tracks prompted by the theme ("Creative Rebirth")

[Rob Lindsay @Robintheoffice]

Birmingham folks: We run a musical bookclub where each month someone picks an album that folk may or may not know, and we listen to it together on a pub soundsystem, then chat about what we thought. It's a midweek musical treat, and everyone's welcome. Would be great to see you!

[Off The Record @OffTheRecordBHM]

@pickadisc These are the ones that did 'Mr Blue Sky'; those are the ones that did 'How Bizarre'

[Rob Lindsay @Robintheoffice]

Tonight! We're meeting in Cherry Reds in Birmingham from 7pm to listen to this album, then chat about what we thought of it. No prior knowledge necessary, and we'd love to see you there!

[Off The Record @OffTheRecordBHM]

@sparetomato @mattpointblank @ilovecherryreds We've been discussing with the host whether or not to sub in the Tammy Wynette version! What do you think we should do?

[Off The Record @OffTheRecordBHM]

We're back at @ilovecherryreds on Tuesday 25th July, where we'll be playing The KLF's The White Room to anybody who wants to turn up and listen with us. Afterwards, we'll chat about what we thought of it, and add songs to jukebox that fit the theme for the night: "Pop/Art?"

[Off The Record @OffTheRecordBHM]

Some of us have heard the album before, and others are hearing it for the first time. We'll be pressing play at 7:30, but will be there from about an hour before. Further details are here https://t.co/dzudJpmhC2 and the Fish Finger Sandwiches, as always, are recommended.
