When: Monthly on Friday afternoons 2:00 pm
Last Friday of each month
Venue: Paisley Central Library

We live in a golden age of music and I would like people to get to know and discuss our favourite music.

Each member of the group is asked to provide a list of their top 12 favourite albums. We then choose two albums each month and try and listen to them three times before we meet up to discuss them track-by-track. The discussion could include what we liked, what we didn't .....

If you are interested in joining the new group please contact the group leader, Don, using the link above and he will get back in touch with more details.

Meetings normally take place on the last Friday of the month at 2PM in Paisley Central Library - 1st floor just beside the lift.
Our next meeting takes place on Friday 25th September.
Please note there is no meeting in July or August.

For out next meeting we will listen to this music -

  1. Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin

  3. Graceland by Paul Simon
  4. Highland Hard Rain by Aztec Camera
