Our old listening post died just as we were about to move and we really need to come up with a replacement fairly soon. There are many more options now for larger touch screens and I think we may run a competition to design one which is really just a cheeky way of trying to […]
A nice collection of 80s vinyl has just come in. The Smiths, Cocteau Twins, Depeche Mode, Cure, Kate Bush, OMD, Marc Almond, The The, Japan and Stephen Tin Tin Duffy ! Plus lots more of course. We are still looking for more vinyl so do please get in touch if you need some space in […]
