Cooking Vinyl announces 30th anniversary gigs, boxset and book
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 14 October 2016
Cooking Vinyl has announced a series of live shows in December to mark its 30th anniversary. The indie music company will also release a 70 track boxset spanning the label’s history, and a book titled ‘It’s a Business Doing Pleasure With You – 30 Lessons from The Cooking Vinyl Story’.
The three anniversary shows will all take place at The Lexington in London, dates and line-ups as follows:
5 Dec: Turin Brakes, Alison Moyet, Teddy Thompson
6 Dec: Lewis Watson, Reverend & The Makers’ Jon McClure, The Subways’ Billy Lunn
7 Dec: Billy Bragg, The King Blues’ Itch, Hayseed Dixie’s John Wheeler
Tickets are on sale via Songkick now.
Ticket buyers are also able to grab bundles including the ‘Cooking Vinyl 1986 – 2016’ boxset, which is due for release on 25 Nov. It features tracks from acts including Frank Black, Underworld, The Prodigy, Oysterband, Tom Robinson, Ron Sexsmith, Billy Bragg, Carter USM, Amanda Palmer, and more.
The book, ‘It’s a Business Doing Pleasure With You – 30 Lessons from The Cooking Vinyl Story’, will be published early next year, with pre-orders being taken through Unbound. Written by Hanspeter Kuenzler, it breaks the story of the label down into 30 lessons. Which you probably guessed from the title. Well done.
All profits from all of this anniversary stuff will be donated to Hope Not Hate, Nordoff Robbins and Palestine Music Expo.
