Vinyl Vault, The


Hosted by Ballantrae Gord

Saturday at 5:00 pm; repeated Monday afternoon at 12:30 pm

Deep in the heart of the Oak Ridges Morraine.
High above the Town of Stouffville – in the Woods of the Whitchurch-Highlands.
There lies a Sealed Treasure Trove – stacked high with flat, black Discs.
That harbour Cherished Memories and Musical Delights – This is The Vinyl Vault!

Re-live the adventure of stacking up your 45’s or laying down a High Fidelity LP.

Join Ballantrae Gord, Curator of the Vinyl Vault, every Saturday at 5:00 pm and Monday at 12:30 pm, as he unearths hidden musical gems – all on vinyl records – and plays them for you.

Ballantrae Gord is a long time resident of Stouffville, who now resides in the sleepy community of Ballantrae. Currently a local businessman who enjoys performing with live theatre and musical groups, BG has spent many years as a teacher, writer and coach. A lifelong audiofile, Gord has been collecting and enjoying vinyl records for half a century. As the Curator of The Vinyl Vault, he invites you to join him on his weekly forays back to a time before digital sound, synthetic music and ipods, back to a time when polyvinyl discs with modulated, spiral grooves brought the joys of music into your homes – in mono or full stereographic sound
