Record Fairs: Feira dos Senhores do Vinil - test edition


Nothing like a record fair to spruce up the rentrée! Alexandre Barbosa, seasoned DJ, owner and manager of Sound Club Store and also the man behind the 2 editions of Feira dos Amigos do Vinil (meaning: Vinyl Friends Fair), has decided to expand his concept of DJing while selling records put in practice during this summer in Park (a bar on the top of a multistorey car park near Lisbon's downtown) by inviting some friends with small online record shops - Retrovisor, Dig Wax, One O One, Play, Espiral.
The result: a small and informal record fair with one of the best views over Lisbon and some great music to boot. What more can you ask? Feira dos Senhores do Vinil (Vinyl Masters Fair, in English) is going down (or should we say up?) this Friday the 25th, from 5pm to 9pm.
