Coming soon: Pure, unadulterated rock 'n' roll at Vinyl Sessions event on AC/DC in Harrogate

Get ready to turn it up! Next week’s Vinyl Sessions event in Harrogate will celebrate one of the greatest rock albums of all time - AC/DC’s legendary Back in Black.

The second biggest selling album of all time, the worldwide success in 1980 of Back in Black marked an extraordinary comeback following the tragic death of original frontman Bon Scott.

With new vocalist Brian Johnson, AC/DC produced a rock masterpiece that would become one of the biggest-selling albums in music history.

From the haunting opening bells of Hells Bells to the unmistakable riffs of You Shook Me All Night Long, Back in Black delivers pure, unadulterated rock 'n' roll.

Taking place on Wednesday, November 11 at Starling Independent Bar Cafe Kitchen in Harrogate at 7.30pm, every penny from the event will go to Harrogate Hospital's Community Charity.

Since starting in 2018, Harrogate Vinyl Sessions events have raised more than £25,000 for Harrogate Hospital's Community Charity, including £10,000 in the last year to the hospital’s Special Care Baby Unit.

Presented, as always by Vinyl Sessions founder and vintage hi fi expert Colin Paine, the AC DC night will also feature resident music historian, Graham Chalmers of the Harrogate Advertiser, a former artistic director of Harrogate International Festivals Fringe and organiser of Charm gigs and events.

There will also a presentation of relevant video footage to accompany the sounds on vintage hi fi.

Colin Pane said: We'll be playing the album in full on vinyl, through a carefully selected hi-fi system featuring a Technics SL-1210GR turntable with Hana SH cartridge, Marantz PM8005 amplifier and Wharfedale EVO 4.4 floorstanding speakers.”

A system chosen to bring out the detail, dynamics and sheer power of this classic recording.”
