Shopping for Music in the North West of England

Word reaches us of yet another new outlet for you crate diggers. This time it’s Vagabond Vintage & Vinyl who have set up stall on the top floor of Manchester’s iconic Afflecks Palace. As the name suggests they sell a mixture of Vintage clothing and, we’re reliably informed, a growing selection of good quality music […]

Fuelled by tea and that itch that doesn’t go away I plodded down Tib Street to check if the rumours on Beatin’ Rhythm were true. The glossy futurism of wood, scaffold and windows is […]
A couple of messages came into the site suggesting Beatin Rhythm, Manchester’s Northern Soul and rare vinyl specialist appeared to be closed.

The list of exclusive items that will be available from participating stores on the day is a huge, ever growing thing indeed. You’ll have read much ado in the press about Blur’s brand new single […]
