A half leg of lamb, sprinkled with rosemary is tonight’s offering, suitably garnished with cheesy leeks. A pilsner from Polly’s provides refreshment and Talking Heads’ final album ‘Naked’ brings gravitas to the proceedings. #VinylRoastDinner

Pink Floyd’s debut album gives festive cheer. Tesco club card lamb leg and Vocation add flavour. Various vegetables add garnish, vitamins and fibre. Gravy steals the glory. #VinylRoastDinner

Tonight’s fayre involves a lavish leg of New Zealand lamb, while your favourite Lou Reed album ‘New York’ spins on the deck. The glassware contains a Welsh Pale from Glamorgan Brewery Co, giving a truly intercontinental presence to this week’s #VinylRoastDinner

Brisket makes a welcome return to the Chez Dennis kitchen. It had to be Black Sabbath on the deck this week and their eponymous debut was the vinyl of choice. Vocation’s Life & Death gives the occasion due deference. #RIPOzzyOsbourne #VinylRoastDinner

Rush’s return this year is a heartwarming tale and the newly released Neil Peart documentary tells the story of the late drummer with considerable class. Permanent Waves has aged remarkably well and the brisket has tenderised with similar grace. #VinylRoastDinner

Brisket makes its first appearance of 2025, safe in the knowledge it won’t be the last. Tiny Rebel’s ‘Cali Pale’ is a refreshing sideshow and Pink Floyd’s classic album, ‘The Wall’ delivers gravitas to the proceedings. #VinylRoastDinner

After a week’s hiatus, #VinylRoastDinner returns with an album that truly deserves to be among the greats. Massive Attack’s ‘Mezzanine’ is in yours, mine and everybody else’s all-time top 20. When accompanied by roast beef and Staropramen, it borders on a religious experience.

Best album of the 80s? Lamb shoulder? West Coast IPA? Oh, go on then. #VinylRoastDinner

Today, Echo and the Bunnymen are sharing the stage with a meat duo of beef silverside and a gammon joint with their sophomore album. A bottle of Shipyard served in a very cool glass, provides the final piece of the #VinylRoastDinner jigsaw. 🧩

A dearth of brisket in The Great Metropolis of Mold’s supermarkets this morning, means an understudy of a beef roasting joint literally steps up to the plate this #VinylRoastDinner. Polly’s Rosebud provides delicious accompaniment and Radiohead’s OK Computer is the sonic tonic.

A lavish leg of lamb has been scorched and the house smells sensational. PSB’s latest album, ‘The Last Flight’ tells the musical story of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart and a bottle of Wainwright Gold quenches the thirst. #VinylRoastDinner

Autumn truly kicked in this weekend. Rush, IPA and a Silverside of Beef soften the blow.

An easy choice for this Sunday’s #VinylRoastDinner as The Wedding Present frequent The Live Rooms in The Great City on Tuesday this week. Tommy was my first taste of The Weddoes in my Sixth Form common room in the mid 80s. Today, I taste them in tandem with brisket and IPA.

A combination of silverside beef and gammon accompany The National’s Matt Berninger and his new solo album, which collectively hit the spot in a similar way to @NorthBrewCo’s Ultra Phase DIPA.

A lamb shoulder is the plan for tonight’s #VinylRoastDinner - done very long and slow. The prize from yesterday’s #RecordStoreDay2025 is the aural offering, courtesy of Fields of the Nephilim. A special RSD beer procured from @VODMusic1 at 8.30am is now being sunk. Cheers Colin!

A bold statement, but this aural offering is unequivocally the best live album in history. Neil Young & Crazy Horse are on incendiary form. It requires some high level meat accompaniment, so a duo of brisket and lamb rub shoulders with godfather of punk. #VinylRoastDinner

A roast chicken with the customary trimmings awaits its fifteen minutes of fame. In the meantime, Squid’s new album ‘Cowards’ is spinning away and a cherry sour from Polly’s quenches the thirst but not the craving for crispy skin. #VinylRoastDinner

Another #VinylRoastDinner sourced from the goth section of the collection this week, with The Mission’s debut album on the deck which never disappoints. A San Miguel is in the glass and a great big leg of lamb is in the oven.

Wishing you all a fabulous Bank Holiday weekend with The Housemartins’ debut album. Pale ale and a beef joint complete a #VinylRoastDinner for a satisfied houseful of hungry kin.

Chicken, stuffing and an array of vegetables accompany Prefab Sprout on the deck. However, said vegetable is missing from today’s #VinylRoastDinner at the expense of cauliflower, carrots, broccoli and green beans. I’m sure Paddy will forgive me. IPA is once again in attendance.

I’ve plundered the hard rock section of the record collection for today’s special Bank Holiday edition of #VinylRoastDinner. Iron Maiden’s, ‘Live After Death’ relentlessly torments the family. Meanwhile, a piece of topside & a Guinness complete the roster. Eddie would be proud.

A seminal Happy Mondays release on red vinyl, a generous cut of brisket with associated sundries and Polly’s Floret are synthesised, resulting in a very pleasing Bank Holiday Weekend #VinylRoastDinner.

A pork loin supplemented by a gammon joint is lubricated by Punk IPA and sonically accompanied by The Stone Roses’ compilation, ‘Turns Into Stone.’ Meat, drink and music in tandem. #VinylRoastDinner

Another of 2026’s finest graces the #VinylRoastDinner turntable. Boards of Canada’s Inferno elevates the roasting of a pork loin and the simmering of a ham into something approaching ceremony. A schooner of Vocation completes the ritual.
