What a success, my local record store ‘Hundred Records’ changed hands back in October last year so a first RSD25 as the owner for the new owner and a great morning was had. I got down there and in the queue at 6.20am and there were approximately 50 people in front of me, some camped…
Every day is a school day! I had done my good deed for the day by donating a sizeable selection of classical and show tune records that had come into my ownership to one of the charity shops that I occasionally find some great donated vinyl in. They had nothing today so after a 20…

Last night was the Hot Wax instore at Vinilo Record Store in Southampton, and what a night. Not your usual instore where you get a few songs, they smashed through a nine song setlist, much to the appreciation of those in attendance. I first saw this three piece perform in a support slot at the…
I settled down last night to watch a film, I’ve been a bit vacant from TV for a while aside from a couple of series I’m following but knew there were a few new films to take a look at. To be honest after sitting on and through Cider Apple Vinegar for the afternoon, which…
