Reel Connections
Reel Connections are a Community Interest Company that uses film, music and the creative arts to connect people, groups and communities across Norfolk and the South East. We deliver events, screenings and activities with people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
As a small and enthusiastic team with a broad range of experience and specialisms, we believe in the many benefits arts and culture can have on both individuals and communities. Our activities are designed to build on people’s enjoyment of film, music and the creative arts to improve wellbeing, and develop new skills and opportunities. We are passionate about increasing creative participation and engagement for all, particularly for audiences who experience social and rural isolation.
Record Club is an informal monthly meeting where we enjoy listening to a classic album on vinyl, before discussing the record together.
Inspired by the growth of album listening clubs such as ‘Classic Album Sundays’, Record Club is similar to how book and film clubs operate, except of course that it in this case it revolves (pun intended) around close listening and escaping the tyranny of the shuffle button.
Album choices are suggested and agreed ahead of each meeting and then each month we’ll gather to enjoy and discuss a classic album played in full, on vinyl, on a quality sound system with minimal distractions.
Meetings happen on the third Friday of each month. All are welcome. Feel free to turn up on the day or drop us a line to find out more at info@reelconnections.co.uk
THIRD FRIDAY OF EACH MONTH, 2PM IN THE PLAYROOM AT NORWICH THEATRE PLAYHOUSE
FREE
Inspired by the growth of album listening clubs such as ‘Classic Album Sundays’, Record Club is similar to how book and film clubs operate, except of course that it in this case it revolves (pun intended) around close listening and escaping the tyranny of the shuffle button.
Album choices are suggested and agreed ahead of each meeting and then each month we’ll gather to enjoy and discuss a classic album played in full, on vinyl, on a quality sound system with minimal distractions.
Meetings will be led by our Director Guy Martin and after a short introduction, we’ll drop the needle onto track one and savor the first side of the record. At the end of side one we can take a few minutes to share any initial reactions before turning the record over. When the album finishes, we’ll encourage people to grab a tea or a coffee before we reconvene to discuss the merits of the album whilst having a listen to any other relevant songs along the way.
Music is something that is close to all our hearts, and we positively encourage lively debate at our meetings, whilst keeping meetings relaxed, friendly and welcoming for everyone. Feel free to turn up on the day or drop us a line to find out more at info@reelconnections.co.uk
All meetings take place at The Playroom, Norwich Theatre Playhouse, 42-58 St Georges St, Norwich NR3 1AB
