So of course the RSD exclusives were April Fools and though there is some truth in both the HMV and Probe stories so were the other listings. However I can promise it is true that The Bow Bar in Victoria Street will be celebrating Record Store Day with Avalanche this year by having a cask […]
We are very pleased to announce that we have 5 limited edition Withered Hand futons to sell on Record Store Day. We are expecting a big demand so everybody who puts their name down on the day will be entered into a ballot to have the opportunity to buy one at the bargain price of […]

I’ve always said that running the shop was like playing space invaders and one day I’d be overrun by the constant bombardment of emails (on top of everything else) the way I never quite got to the end of space invaders once those men started off at the bottom. That day has come. Losing my […]
