Why not travel to Scotland and discover some of the bands that have made an impression on Indie British Rock? This travel is one to make with your senses, namely while cocooning at home, as there are restrictions of movement between municipalities until next Tuesday, 3rd November.

This is a great idea to start your weekend, as individual responsibility can have a great impact on the collective fight to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. Take time to enjoy the Scottish album that was released in 1982, which did not receive proper attention at the time though, but, according to the team at the Fonoteca Municipal do Porto, it gives you the best of pop of the eighties. The band is named
Orange Juice, and the album is themed You Can't Hide Your Love Forever

The playlist is available on Spotify.

The Municipal Audio Room (aka Fonoteca Municipal de Vinil da Câmara do Porto- FMP) opened doors on 26th September and tells a fascinating story. There are lots of vinyl records and a large collection of phonograms in vinyl format, which was the result of two donations to the Municipal Sound Archive by Rádio Difusão Portuguesa and Rádio Renascença, back in 2008.

Take note: these facilities, which are part of the Plataforma Campanhã, in the Arda Complex, are a space devoted to appreciating music, audio-visual, sound and the music industry at large, featuring circa 35 thousand vinyl records, both national and international productions, which the public will have the possibility to explore.
