Packed from 9am when the doors opened, browsing space in front of milk crates filled to the brim with vintage vinyl treasures was at a premium.
One punter who was fortunate enough to get in before 10.30am was music lover David Rees, who was hoping to add to his 10,000-strong record collection.
“It’s nice to feel the records in your hands and find the one,” he said.
He found his taste for hip-hop and 90s jungle in the UK.
“I got into it going out to raves… I used to be a DJ in the 90s so you build up your collection,” he said.
He brought records from anywhere he could before moving to Orange.
“Gift shops, disk shops, anywhere. Now I get them from the internet,” he said.
Organiser Patrick Coomey said he was “really pleased” with the turnout.
“Considering it’s a wet day and people are still coming out, it’s a great thing,” he said.
“It’s a great day for music lovers in Orange.”
