The 3rd Orange Record Fair is back and will again be held in the CWA Hall in Robertson Park on Saturday 9th November.

Over the past two years thousands of music lovers have descended on the hall, enjoying the experience of stepping into a record store with over 10,000 Records, CD’s, DVD’s and collectables to dig through. The prices for Records, CDs and DVDs will be starting from $2, so there will be plenty of opportunity for everyone regardless of your budget. This is also your opportunity to find those harder to find albums you’ve been looking for. Giving you the chance to check their condition out before parting with your money, instead of having to chance it online or travel 3 hours to Sydney for some crate digging.

If you have friends or relatives that love their music and you are wondering what to get them for Christmas, this is a chance to find something different. There will also be assorted collectables, retro clothing and books to go through.

The Orange Record Fair also provides local artists with their own albums an opportunity to connect with music lovers and present their music to them via short personal appearances on stage.  This year Clinton Hoy from Dubbo will be appearing showcasing his album “Pieces of Different Puzzles” the title track of which has already received recognition as the winner of the ‘fRETfEST 2017/18 Regional Song Contest’. 

Kris Schubert from the Safety of Life at Sea (who performed a cracking set at the inaugural fair) will be popping in to promote a very special album which he has produced “Dreaming of a Green Christmas”. A collection of songs about what Christmas means to 18 artists from their end of the telescope here in the Central West.

The 100 Mile Groove will be spinning deep cuts from Vinyl of Classic Albums, Forgotten Gems to New Releases, including Andy Nelson from Bathurst stunning Debut “Man on The Mountain”.

The eye-catching artwork for the Orange Record Fair featuring the CWA Hall was created by Orange Comic book artist Hugh McKinnon whose work will be available on the day as well.

Orange Record Fair is on Saturday November 9, at CWA Hall, Robertson Park.

9am to 5pm with FREE Entry.
