FREE ENTRY ALL DAY
Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings is setting up a special pop
up shop in conjunction with Record Store Day. An avid record collector
himself, Gilles knows all too well the buzz one gets from digging in
the crates. So for one day only, the East London venue C.A.M.P gets a
Brownswood makeover. Here, fellow vinyl enthusiasts can browse to
their hearts content through rare soul, jazz, groove, funk, and
African records from his favorite UK dealers and special live
auctions with generously donated finds from celebrity ‘fans’
including Thom Yorke, Erykah Badu, Four Tet, Zane Lowe, Rob Da Bank,
Jaime Cullum and more…
Brownswood’s resident visual artist, Josephine Ade Chinonye Chime
will customize the shop into a traditional African street fair with
her elaborate illustration cut-outs and textile prints.
All record sale proceeds will go to the Steve Reid Foundation. Steve
Reid was an amazing drummer with a long and illustrious history that
stretched from working with James Brown, Miles Davis and Fela Kuti
through to his own Steve Reid Trio and more recently working with
Kieran Hebden (Four Tet). He died from throat cancer in the US in
April 2010 without money for treatment that could have saved his
life. The aims of the foundation are to fundraise on behalf of
struggling musicians in need of help and support.
Record Store Day is an internationally celebrated day observed the
third Saturday of April each year. Its purpose is to celebrate the
art of music.
