After a 40 year break I am back working in a record shop.I am at Clocktower Records in Bridport on Mondays and Wednesday's. Not much has changed other than instead of ringing up £2 on the till I am ringing £20 #records #vinyl

Fabulous window display from the shop with the same name as my book and our film
If Carlsberg did Oasis window displays. All official Oasis t shirts are £18.

How fabulous to see these music legends over 50 years since I first watched them at Liverpool Empire. True heroes of music and time they were honoured for their contribution

Cheers to the record shops for your support. After 32 years at Proper Music travelling the UK visiting record shops I am leaving to do some record shop consultancy work and more Vinyl Revival quiz and comic tales evenings.

RAVAS has a look at the Companies House mailing list and discovered errors that even a small business wouldn't tolerate such as no postcode, countries that make no sense and even no address at all. It would cost very little to correct this as we explain ravasglobal.com/post/garbage-i…
Lucky to attend this evening with these musical legends, plus Rob Brydon who was as funny as ever

What a pleasure it has been to sell MAD to UK record shops. As they were the first band I watched live Liverpool Empire 1974 they have always been special to me
MAD! is No. 2 on the UK @officialcharts - Sparks’ highest chart position to date‼️ Thank you to everyone for this incredible achievement. Onwards and upwards indeed! See you on the MAD! Tour! 🥳🥳
Fantastic evening with Sparks and Rob Brydon.First went to see them live at Liverpool Empire 1974.They are still writing brilliant songs and the new album MAD out this week is a cracker.

Delighted to have been selling this album in to UK shops. It's a cracker
