The Vinyl Frontier - Autumn evenings

About

The Vinyl Frontier bring you a nostalgic season of music face-offs

Join host Jeff Lloyd for a series of topical music evenings at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts this Autumn. Each show has a different theme, with an age guidance of 14+ years. Tickets are £13.50.

 

The Vinyl Frontier – Battle of the Bedroom is on Saturday 13 September at 8pm. Love may be patient and kind… but not when it comes to playlists. Join us for a night of vaguely passive-aggressive DJing as six couples face off by playing one of their favourite tracks – the very same ones their partner can’t stand. From screechy solos to thumping basslines, it’s all fair game in this musical turf war. And the best bit? The audience decides who wins!

 

Two voices. One groove. Ten contenders. One winner. The Vinyl Frontier – Your Best Duet is on Saturday 18 October at 8pm. The wilder the pairing, the better!

Join us for a night where harmony meets heated competition as 10 vinyl lovers each drop the needle on their all-time favourite duet. From soaring soul to cheesy pop perfection - they’ll plead their case, spin their disc and hope their pick hits the right note.

The audience decides who nailed the chemistry and who should’ve stayed solo. Vote for your top duet in each half – then help crown the ultimate pair of pipes in a final musical face-off. Expect passion, persuasion and possibly Islands in the Stream.

 

Five years enter, only one will spin to victory. The Vinyl Frontier – Best Years of Our Lives is on Saturday 22 November at 8pm.

In this time-travelling vinyl showdown, five brave contenders each champion what they believe was the greatest year in music history. Armed with just three carefully chosen records they must win your hearts – and your votes – across three ferociously contested rounds. The audience decides which year rocked hardest, popped brightest, and embraced the silly with style. Come for the tunes, stay for the musical time machine!

 

The Vinyl Frontier – Your Favourite vs My Favourite is on Saturday 20 December at 8pm.

For one night only, seven contenders take on your ever-opinionated host, Jeff Lloyd in a full-blown musical face-off. The twist? Each participant chooses their own category – anything from Best Beatles Ballad to Top Solo Take That Track – and picks a song they think will steal the crowd’s heart. Jeff, never one to back down, fires back with his own selection. Then it’s over to the audience to vote: whose taste reigns supreme?

Expect deep cuts, guilty pleasures, passionate arguments – and a crowd that calls the final tune.
