Clive's Record Shop in Shetland to close

Some in the music industry think I have a vast army of spies since I tend to find out about record shop related things very quickly indeed. In fact I just google the phrase “record shops” and sometimes “record stores” and look under news twice a week. Sadly this just popped up.

By coincidence I phoned Clive for the first time just after he had made the decision to close. Amazon was taking his business but also a new Tesco. I had also heard more recently he had had a change of heart and was going to stay open. Seemed like a really nice guy.
