Well, it’s been a week that will live long in our memory. The metaphorical ribbon was cut and doors opened to the shop on Saturday 18th October 2014. We’re open for business.
Launching any new business is always going to jangle some nervous. Those were settled swiftly by the presence of customers. Thanks so much to all that showed up on Saturday and through the week. Your support has been fantastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The original idea was to have a soft launch, just inviting our Facebook followers. Resisting everything but temptation, I pinged off a press release to a few radio stations and some music websites. And then it exploded!
A couple of interviews on BBC Radio Cambs, a shout from Tom Ravenscroft on BBC 6 Music followed and a feature on Fab Radio. The NME rang a story on us and the snowball ran away. You can view some articles if so inclined…

We’re open Monday to Saturday. Come and say hello, have a cuppa and hit up the racks. The shop might be small, but we’ve packed in several 1,000 gorgeous slabs of vinyl.
Cheers, Matt. x
