The live demos will take place at Space fiftyfour, an events venue in Rivington Street, Shoreditch, London, and will include a variety of wireless playlists from a selection of independent record labels.
Label representatives will be on hand each evening to play a choice of their new releases and back catalogue material through a B&W Zeppelin Air.
Visitors can also stream their own choice of music using their own iPhone, iPod or iPad, and listen back through a pair of B&W P5 headphones.
So far, the official playlist will include:
• 30 November: Domino Records (Arctic Monkeys, The Kills, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy)
• 1 December: Real World Records (Afro Celt Sound System, Dub Colossus, Portico Quartet)
• 2 December: Bella Union (Fleet Foxes, The Low Anthem, Laura Veirs)
• 5 December: Apparatjik, the supergroup that includes members of Coldplay and a-ha, will also host an evening with their new iPad album, Square Peg In A Round Hole
The Bowers & Wilkins pop-up shop will be open from 11am to 7pm on each week day, and 11am to 5pm at weekends.
