GIVE US THE BACKGROUND - WHEN AND WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO OPEN A RECORD SHOP?

I’ve been in the ‘ol music game since leaving school doing just about every role from DJ to sound engineer, so finding myself in music retail wasn’t much of a leap! As a self-confessed vinyl hoarder, I’ve always loved trawling music shops and when some friends and DJ pals opened our shop in 1996 it turned out my destiny was to go from regular customer to part-time staff member and eventually to owner in 2006. Not sure how that happened! Some folks probably thought buying a record shop in 2006 was a little crazy that’s for sure.
