Excellent photography exhibition in the shop at the moment from John Williams. Photos include Belle and Sebastian, Arcade Fire, Nick Cave and Laura Marling. We also have a limited number of postcards priced very reasonably at £1.50.

Funnily enough this was not the headline in the media as ERA (Entertainment Retailers Association) announced their analysis of the Official Chart Company’s figures for the first six months of the year.
