Free: Planet Rock Records Vinyl Bashment Party at Odd

The best record shops showcase a canny mix of eras and influences – and the brains behind local music store, Planet Rock Records, present the most eclectic night in town for their second birthday bash. Store chief and label boss Dave Ruf (pictured) has pulled together a special  line up which includes diverse DJ sets alongside a vinyl sale, a Vic and Bob style quiz, record giveaways, comedy sketches and…  unicorns (of the cuddly toy variety one assumes, but you can never be too sure). Patrons of the store will be familiar with the weird and wonderful vibe of Planet Rock Records but at Odd they’ll be cutting loose and celebrating with a night to remember.

Thu 30 Mar, Odd Bar, 30 Thomas Street, Manchester M4 1ER. Tel: 0161 8330030, 8pm, FREE, www.facebook.com
