"Named One Eighty One, the venue will serve coffee and craft beer as well as vinyl records - an ideal combo for music lovers seeking extra refreshment. By day it will be a chilled record shop and café, and by night it will transform into a vibey venue for collectors, artists and local residents. The venue sits about midway between two stations: Holloway Road (on the Piccadilly line) and Highbury and Islington (on the Victoria, Windrush and Mildmay lines)."
"One Eighty One is the first permanent venue from Rod 'Spin Doctor' Gilmore, a long-standing London promoter. He said of the opening: 'Islington has a rich musical heritage, and I am excited to now be the next part of that in the area I've called home my entire life. 'With quality on all fronts, whether that is drink, records, food or DJs, this will be an unpretentious friendly hangout spot for all of London.'"
A successful Kickstarter scheme has brought a neighbourhood record shop to Holloway Road called One Eighty One. The venue will sell vinyl records, serve coffee and craft beer, and operate as a chilled shop and café by day and a vibey venue by night. The location sits midway between Holloway Road and Highbury and Islington stations. One Eighty One is the first permanent venue from long-standing London promoter Rod 'Spin Doctor' Gilmore, whose 30-year career spans warehouse sessions to the Royal Albert Hall. The shop will stock old and new records with a focus on hip-hop, house and soul. The official opening is Friday December 12 with DJs and a complimentary welcome drink for early arrivals. The address is 181 Holloway Road, N7 8LX.
