Fair Play – The Northern Quarter’s Evening Record Fair

For 3 glorious years between 2017 and 2020 Fair Play was Manchester’s coolest evening record fair. Situated in the heart of the Northern Quarter, Fair Play took place on the first Thursday of the month in the Behind Closed Doors basement.

Organised by the Rotation team here at Dig Deep Records, the Fair Play record fairs were as much a social event as an opportunity to dig in the crates of some of the best record dealers around.

Fair Play packed a room full of vinyl available to purchase, with rotating sellers each month, so each event was different.

The fairs attracted sellers from all over the county with the aim of bringing some fresh records into the city. Crates of boogie, funk, disco, soul, nu disco, edits, latin, jazz, house, techno, DnB, hip hop, and afrobeat, rub shoulders with rock, indie, prog, folk, reggae, and dub!

Doors opened from 5pm, with DJs selecting a soundtrack of upbeat funk, soul, disco, and boogie, playing well into the night.

Entry was free, but you could support the cause by buying a drink from the well stocked bar.

Fair Play gave birth to the Rotation Record Fairs and After Parties brand and the Rotation team have since brought their events to bars, clubs, and festivals up and down the UK. For more information head on over to our Rotation page.
