Success: 500 guests brought the record fair to life

The last record fair at the speaker factory in Roskilde was fantastic, and with no less than 500 friendly guests, the event has grown up. The next record fair is already planned for Saturday, October 1, 2016 ... with even more surprises on the program ... so mark your calendars!
The record fair at the Loudspeaker Factory is a lot of good stuff mixed in a new way. A loudspeaker factory mixed with 25 enthusiastic record collectors. A café and a venue. A concert and an author. Lectures on music, as well as expert contributions on turntables and speakers.
All the ingredients have the music in common, but the most important one is of course the knowledgeable and friendly guests who create the good atmosphere.
Mark October 1 in your calendar and join the record fair's own group on Facebook and follow along.

The photos from the cozy record fair (below) speak for themselves.

The record fair featured live music as Copenhagen's Mother Lewinsky gave a mini-concert in the warehouse. The concert was organized in collaboration with the venue Gimle, and it will not be the last time a concert is held at the loudspeaker factory.

The author Jan Poulsen and his books on music provide vitamins for the brain when the fingers get tired of flipping through records. His lectures on different artists are a recurring event that guests love.

Henrik Høxbro is a speaker expert and his surprising presentations of speakers send guests home with the desire to do something about the sound at home, because, for example, the location of the speaker in the living room is crucial to the music experience.
