Cafe 1001 lists BYOV – Bring Your Own Vinyl, hosted by Majoris Music, on Wednesday nights at 91 Brick Lane, E1 6QL, with dates running into March on the venue’s own What’s On calendar. The event copy bills it as “BYOV from 1001 x Majoris Music”.

The format, in the cafe’s words: “Bring your favourite vinyl along, and hear it on our stunning hi-fi sound system.” The same copy says “Hi-Fi Audio & DJs til midnight” and “Table bookings recommended!”, with reservations handled through OpenTable. No start time and no entry or ticket price are given on the cafe’s pages.

The published Wednesday opening hours are 09:00–23:30, alongside the “til midnight” line in the event copy. The site’s tagline is “Cafe by Day. Hi-Fi By Night.”

The listed dates, and the gaps

As of Saturday 14 November 2026, the calendar listed Wednesday 4, 11, 18 and 25 November and 2, 9 and 16 December 2026; 6, 20 and 27 January; 3, 10, 17 and 24 February; and 3, 10, 17 and 24 March 2027. The next listed night is Wednesday 18 November.

Three Wednesdays within that span are not listed: 23 and 30 December, which fall in the Christmas and New Year weeks, and 13 January.

The night is not a recent addition to the Brick Lane week. The cafe has carried BYOV event pages since 2024: the current page carries metadata dated 2 July 2024, and an older BYOV address redirects to a page published on 18 November 2024. The Old Truman Brewery’s nightlife listings also carry the night, giving times of 18:00-22:00 for 18 November; those figures are the Truman listing’s, not hours published by the cafe.

Records and a hi-fi room on Brick Lane

Rooms built around the sound system rather than the booking have become a recognisable part of the area: Made in Shoreditch has separately written about Mad Cats, Bun House Disco and the rise of Shoreditch listening bars.

The address sits on the strip described in the site’s survey of Brick Lane in 2026, from curry houses and bagel shops to vintage rails and street art. The cafe lists the address as 91 Brick Lane, London, E1 6QL.

Other lines on the event page apply to the venue rather than to BYOV alone: wood-fired pizzas available to order every day and night, cocktails from 11am daily, and 2-4-£15 Aperol Spritz every Monday to Thursday.

The cafe gives a phone number, +44(0)20 7247 6166, and an email address, info@cafe1001.co.uk, for enquiries.
