Cambridge 105 gets Lost in Vinyl for Record Store Day

Needletime

Cambridge 105 is to celebrate all things vinyl with a special broadcast for Record Store Day this Saturday (April 18th), direct from Lost in Vinyl.

Presenters Chris Duerden and Jordan Worland will broadcast live from the Magdalene Street store, which offers a wide range of new release and classic albums, all on newly pressed vinyl.

The duo will be on the air between 10am and 12 noon, broadcasting across Cambridge on 105 FM and online with RadioPlayer.

They’ll be playing tracks from a new album especially released for Record Store Day.

Now in its eighth year in the UK, Record Store Day champions the burgeoning sector of independent record stores.

Recent years have seen a resurgence in demand for vinyl with 2014 vinyl LP sales reaching a 20-year high in the UK at 1.29 million. In the first quarter of 2015 vinyl album sales are up by 69% against the same period in 2014, and vinyl singles also up 23%.

The Official Charts Company has now launched two charts for vinyl album and singles (7 and 12 inch).

Popular artists in the vinyl format include US rockers All Time Low, James Bay, Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran.

In almost five years on the air, community radio station Cambridge 105 has championed the vinyl format through programmes including Tony Dellar’s Northern Soul, Greg’s Afternoon Record Club, and even old-time 78s in the Kipper the Cat Show.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are listening to Cambridge 105 Radio than ever but in a competitive media landscape it’s sometimes difficult to make a noise. And advertising revenues are falling across the sector.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves, who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, whose businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

Please help to support community radio and make our future more secure. You can support Cambridge 105 Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution through Local Giving.

Thank you.

Volunteer

Cambridge 105 Radio needs its team of volunteers to keep it running. Everything from finances to programming is managed by people who willingly give up their time to do something they enjoy – being involved in community radio.
