Well I hope you all like the new site design, all done in-house. A record store theme seemed to fit the mood of what we’re all about. Running a record store has always been a dream it would be the sort of place you could hang out in without hassle and browse and talk music all day and, like the image above, would have the obligatory record store cat. On that theme here is our new playlist insider update!
This weeks in-store favourite:
Pepe Belmonte – The Hermit’s Waltz. Our album of the week being played on extra heavy rotation (one an hour). Check out our review, video, tracks and more here.
And with some Rough trade inspiration:

Hi Alex, youre a jolly good web designer, the new site looks great! I notice the word “folk” has been quietly dropped from the front page banner though – intentional? I also wonder whether youve ever considered making a forum somewhere on the site – “it would be the sort of place you could hang out in without hassle and browse and talk music all day” – in a virtual sense of course. I think it would be popular (certainly would with me anyway)
Cheers
Steve
Hi Steve, glad you like the design. The site is stil the same but the banner change was both a design consideration as well as a reflection of the breadth of what I cover.
We had a forum before but I’m not returning to running one. We have facebook etc. which reaches a wider audience.
Cheers
Alex
