Leisure & Culture Dundee is delighted to welcome the return of the Dundee Record Fair to the Caird and Marryat Halls this Sunday (30 January 2021).
The ever-popular Record and CD Fair returns after a 2 year absence. Now in its 40th year, this is the longest running Record Fair in Scotland. Started in 1982 and run by Lester Mariner from Birmingham, it was taken over in the late '90s by Alistair 'Breeks' Brodie owner of the famous 'Groucho's' record shop in Dundee. After Alistair's untimely death in 2019, the fair has been organised by George Robertson.
In its heyday in the 80's and 90's it attracted well over 1000 vinyl enthusiasts and is still a popular Sunday event attracting collectors from the city and surrounding area four times a year.
It runs 11am-3.30 pm and entry is £1.
Dundee City Council
Dundee draws skilled workers from a 60-minute catchment population of 640,000 and has a local population of over 140,000. The availability of a large pool of highly skilled labour is a key feature in the Dundee economy. Flexibility in the labour force is currently more prevalent in Dundee than in Scotland as a whole. All forms of labour market flexibility - part-time, temporary employment, self-employment and shift work - are widely operational within the city. Labour force stability in the city is excellent, enabling companies to plan with confidence. Labour turnover levels are less than 5% and absenteeism averages 2%.
