Promotions manager at The Black Prince, Mr Moore said: “This is the last tie-in Record Store Day event we are hosting.

“The first two in August and September have been a lot of fun, uniting the music community to come together to celebrate their vinyl passion during these straightened times.

“We are lucky at The Black Prince to have this large outdoor space to host socially distanced events like a record fair.

“Now it's not far off winter I do encourage people to get involved with this final event. Records, new and old and booze - what's not to love?”
