Brigadoon 2nd event - Sunday 1st June 2025 - Coffee house and roastery in West London
So, the Saturday fair was a real success, but fairs can be a very transactional experience.
One of the main reasons Luke and I are doing Brigadoon, is for the social element, sharing and turning on people to cool stuff that might be less known
So the 2nd event is in a cool environment. A coffee house in West London, with plenty of space where we will be able to play sounds, chat and turn peeps on
The joy of discovery should be a fun and rewarding experience for all
We will be posting new additions (records and other stuff) and other information over the next few weeks
So hopefully see you there!

Like its mystical
counterpart, Brigadoon Records will always surprise those who make the effort
to reach it. In order to maintain this unpredictable mystique, we want to
emphasise that none of our records can be reserved or bought except by those
who make the effort to find us.
Online
shopping is just so boring and transactional…
Visit us
in person and you will find treasures for every budget. All sold on a first
come first served basis.
For those
unable to visit due to geography or other constraints, records unsold in our
physical appearances may become available online or remotely, particularly in
the Robin Wills’ Purepop lists which will continue to go out once or twice a
year.
For each
event we will attempt to offer significant quantities of new stock in order to
make it worth seeking us out whenever we appear.
No more boring dealers with stale stock low turnover.
Also the bargains bins won’t be
full of the usual “next step is
landfill” records
Stay
tuned for the first date and location being announced next week

Brigadoon Records: Where did it go? ... when will it next appear?
Brigadoon
Records is a new
venture from Robin Wills and Luke Harris.
Robin and Luke have been friends
for over 40 years, sharing a passion for rock n roll music, obscure records, horror
movies and other strange emissions from the cultural underbelly.
Having spent
decades accumulating giant collections of records, books and other ephemera, the
time has now come to start making some of these treasures available to others
The subject
of a 1947 Broadway musical and later a 1954 Hollywood musical with Gene Kelley
and Cyd Charisse, Brigadoon is an enchanted village in the Scottish
Highlands that only appears once every hundred years. Invisible to the outside
world, time stands still for those fortunate enough to visit this magical
place.
In our case,
Brigadoon Records will materialize more often than every century. Whether
it be as a pop-up store in different London locations, at record fairs, markets
or gigs, it is expected to become a monthly event, announced around 4 to 6
weeks ahead of each incarnation.
Brigadoon is conceived as more than just a
record shop. We hope to offer books,
posters, music ephemera, original art, and whatever cool and unusual things we
can excavate from the depths of our collections. Ideally it will become a destination for like-minded
misfits to come and discuss mutual obsessions.
Robin and
Luke are both selling individually under the common Brigadoon umbrella
Robin will primarily focus on a specially
curated selection of highly prized items covering 60s Garage, Freakbeat, Surf,
Heavy Psych and Bonehead, along with Junkshop Glam and Power pop. From hard-to-find
records that are rarer than hen’s teeth to others that are far more affordable…
Luke will present a wider variety of
records from the 50s to the present day encompassing a bit of almost everything
from jazz, country and rockabilly to punk, metal, reggae and hip hop.
Stay
tuned for more news next week...
