Dear Melting Vinyl supporters,
At present we are in the process of finding out what the effect of the UK Government’s latest advice to the public to avoid contact in social spaces means in terms of our upcoming events.
It may mean some shows planned for the near future could be postponed to a later date in order to safeguard our local community.
Melting Vinyl are dedicated to supporting artists and the local live music venues and we are currently in close communication with both – we will keep you all updated as soon as any news comes in on our social media.
Many thanks for your patience and understanding and please bear with us as we navigate through this unprecedented time.
