Melting Vinyl: Bringing the cream of live music to Brighton.

Well here it is! It’s very nearly the end of another busy year at Melting Vinyl and we wanted to share with you our favourite albums/singles/EPs and live shows of the year. Don’t forget it’s our Christmas Party tomorrow night at The Green Door Store so come and party with us, Coves, The Peppermint Beat Band and Tarq Bowen! You can even come and tell us how great/tragic our music of 2012 is! We cannot wait for 2013, exciting things are coming up! From all of us we wish you a very VERY Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
