I have a friend with a gift shop. Interesting things you don’t see all the time. She has to go through every box taking out the little leaflets inside from the supplier which basically say thank you for buying this from a shop but next time why not buy something directly from us instead listing […]
Just to clarify what I would have thought was obvious. If you would like to play an in-store then it is essential that any physical releases you have are available in shops. Offering a few copies as an afterthought doesn’t count !
Ryan from Star Wheel Press was in today turning the back of the shop into more of a multi purpose display/gallery space. It’s only a first attempt but will make the space a little more flexible. We should hopefully have everything in place in time for some exciting exhibitions during the Festival.
Seemingly one of the sponsors has been accused of dodgy dealings and is no longer involved. At least now we can be sure of a fair result ! Renowned music charity Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy in Scotland and Creative Scotland have teamed up to launch a once in a lifetime opportunity for new and emerging Scottish bands to […]
We Were Promised Jetpacks are set to release their new album ‘In The Pit Of The Stomach’ on October 3rd. We Were Promised Jetpacks have been teasing fans for the past month.

No doubt Kid Canaveral will be the Admiral Fallow of the bunch. http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/festivals/tinthepark/2011/artists/kidcanaveral/ Saturday 10 Young Fathers Airship […]
Halfway through 2011 our top 50 best sellers irrespective of year released – I’ll be very surprised if I don’t find I’ve missed someone out / miscounted later in the week but for now it will do. Two Frightened Rabbit titles top 20 and three top 40, Kid Canaveral still top 10, two top 30 […]
Thursday 7th July was actually quite a busy day which made it even more remarkable when I noticed at the end of the day that we had taken more money selling posters, badges, t-shirts, bags and magazines than CDs and vinyl. Unusually we had not sold any DVDs at all. It is clear there is […]
