We're excited to welcome Joe Florek and his Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton open decks to our Star Cafe as we expand our Sunday afternoon events programme.

A self confessed vinyl nerd, Joe has been running open decks events since 2012 around the North West, currently with regular gigs in New Brighton and Runcorn, and previously in Liverpool, Manchester and Chorlton. 

The name of the event “Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton” is a play on the 1999 Hip Hop album “My Vinyl Weighs a Ton”. 

It celebrates inclusivity and sharing a love of all genres of music. Everyone is welcome, bring 5x7”s or three 12”s, and Joe can show you how to use the decks. As he says: "here’s the secret: It’s EASY and anyone can do it."
