Welcome to charityshopdj.com, the site of Charity Shop DJ and the EasyAction Sound System

The Charity Shop DJ Picture Show

First seen at the Boris Baggs Gallery, Paddington, the Charity Shop DJ Picture Show is a visual and audio celebration of our musical heritage.

The idea is simple: Ask somebody - anybody - to be photographed with their favourite record.

No matter who they are, everybody has a record which means something to them. Artwork, sleevenotes, familiar tracklistings, a predictable scratch in the vinyl, the record as a physical object.

And, of course the music itself.

Music shapes identity and colours memory. The images below feature some of the people who made the Show.

Mark Thomas (Comedian) The Reverend Barbara Holbrook

Tom Bailey (International Observer)

Richard(Bassist)

The Reverend Chris Jackson Paul Gambaccini (Broadcaster) Andy (Tour Manager, Bluetones) Andy McCluskey  (OMD)
Beryl and Stan Tony Benn (Former MP) Flo and Andy Williams
