Not ours to run — a few of us will be there, so it is well worth putting in the diary.

Nothing else in the diary yet — December is a break, and next year's dates follow. @7_up.vinyl always has them first.

What it is

A free community gathering for collectors, selectors and anyone who likes records. Dig through the crates, bring your own to swap or sell, or take a turn on the decks.

Not a purist 45s event. Music in all physical formats is celebrated, swapped and sold here — LPs, 12s, cassettes, whatever you dig out. Only the open decks are strictly 7", the format the whole thing is named after. Hip-hop, jazz, soul, funk, disco, broken beat, Afrobeat, Brazilian, Latin, reggae, boogie, rare groove, beats and world groove. No gatekeeping, no egos — good music, good people and community. Family and friends welcome.

To confirmIdris — this is built out of your own words now, so give it a read and tell me to take this note off.

One

Sell records

Got crates to shift? Take a stall and bring the boxes you have been sitting on. Dealers, collectors and one-off clear-outs all welcome — the mix is the point.

  • All physical formats — LPs, 12s, 45s, cassettes
  • Say roughly what you're bringing when you get in touch
  • Whether a stall costs anything is still to be confirmed To confirm

DM @7_up.vinyl for a stall An email address for stall enquiries is still to be confirmed.

Two

Play records

Open decks means open. You do not need to be a working DJ or have a following — you need a stack of 45s and the nerve to play them. First-timers are genuinely welcome, that is who this is for.

  • 7" only on the decks — that is the one rule
  • All tempos, all styles, no genre policing
  • Slot length is still to be confirmed To confirm

On the decks

Suggested genres: hip-hop, jazz, soul, funk, disco, broken beat, Afrobeat, Brazilian, Latin, reggae, boogie, rare groove, beats and world groove. No hard and fast rules though — it is a guide.

It is a weekend daytime event, so read the room and play to the vibe. Above all it is about good music, good people and community.

DM @7_up.vinyl for a slot Say what you'd like to play and we'll find you a time.

Last one

Sunday 20 September 2026 at Next Door Records — 304 Uxbridge Road, London W12 7LJ, 11am to 6pm.

A room full of 45s and a day of open decks, and the one that set the shape of this. Buy, sell, trade and connect — supporting the local vinyl community, which is the whole idea.
