MEANTIME CELEBRATES RECORD STORE DAY WITH FESTIVAL OF LIVE MUSIC HOSTED AT ITS GREENWICH BREWERY

Meantime Brewing Company is giving London music fans real cause for celebration with the announcement of Meantime presents Record Store Day Live, a day-long festival of live music taking place at the magnificent Meantime Brewery in Greenwich, South East London, on Saturday 9th April.

The event will celebrate Meantime’s ongoing partnership with Record Store Day, which celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2022 and continues to support independent record shops around the world. All proceeds from ticket sales for the event will be donated to War Child, Record Store Day’s official charity partner.

Record Store Day Live will be headlined by performances from soulful singer-songwriter Samm Henshaw, and Hak Baker who blends indie, folk and rap with his self-titled G-folk sound. Henshaw’s debut album ‘Untidy Soul’ was released in January to huge acclaim, and was followed by a sell-out UK tour including the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in late February. Baker recently performed a huge show at the Camden Roundhouse and released the ‘Misled EP’ at the end of 2021.

Supporting on the Record Store Day Live bill are Do Nothing, whose punk-funk grooves have lit up festivals including Truck and Green Man, and hotly-tipped funk-soul act Sister Cookie, recently championed by 6Music’s Craig Charles, and winner of the 2020 RSD Unsigned competition. Record Store Day Live will be hosted by BBC Music Introducing’s Jess Iszatt, alongside guest DJs and special talks.

As well as the live music and DJ sets there will be plenty of opportunity to pick up music and merch at the Record Store Day Live vinyl fair, with record shops including Peckham Soul and Dreamhouse London bringing a selection of new releases and rare pressings. A hand-picked selection of local street-food sellers will help keep music fans well fed during an epic day of live music.

A limited 300 tickets are on sale now priced at £12.50 (+bf) with all proceeds going to War Child.

Meantime presents Record Store Day Live will celebrate the music and spirit of a vital event in the cultural calendar, and bring good vibes and great beer to South East London for a special day.
