Valhalla Records in Kilmarnock to close

From the Kilmarnock Standard 28/01/11

Valhalla Records in Titchfield Street closes its doors for the final time on Saturday after an 18-year link with the town.

A combination of internet sales, supermarket cut-pricing, and record labels’ indifference to independent stores is being blamed by owner Dave Ross, a living legend on the local music scene.

However it’s not all bad news.

“I’m going back to the Forum in Irvine, where it started all those years ago,” said Dave.
