Get ready to celebrate Record Store Day. Find your nearest record store, where you can get exclusive access to new vinyl releases, event locations, and more.
We are a family-run coffee shop and record store all-in-one, so at times it can get pretty chaotic!
We’re a community hub, so there’s nothing better than a Saturday morning. The queue for the coffee and treats, music-lovers browsing, family and friends socialising, all of this alongside some awesome tunes in the background. Perfect.
We also host live music and events in the evenings – that’s where we sell alcohol and tapas 😉
We have an amazing, fun group of staff (with completely different tastes in music). There’s good vibes every day!
I was always a fan of doing a record shop crawl around Soho! I guess Sister Ray will always have a place in my heart… it always gave me an excited feeling like no other 😊
It would have to be the first Record Store Day that we hosted!
At the end of the day, all the staff were completely knackered but also super satisfied by the experience. We had a queue down the road, amazing vibes all day and some great live music. It felt, for the first time, that we were an established record shop with an amazing, supportive community!
It’s been great, and it’s grown year on year. We’ve been able to get more of the releases in and have had interest from further afield, not just home in Tunbridge Wells.
There’s always a great vibe on Record Store Day. We have live music, a DJ or open mic, and we serve the Record Store Day beer! Plus, we have all our other delights such as brunch, speciality coffee and artisan cakes.
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds at L’Olympia in Paris 2001.
It was the ‘No More Shall We Part’ tour. It was also the first time we’ve ever witnessed any band returning to the stage after their encore. The crowd’s energy and persistence was amazing, and we even got the bands’ autographs afterwards behind the venue!
Most rock (auto)biographies… but one in particular that hit a nerve was Touching From A Distance, the biography about Ian Curtis from Joy Division, written by his wife, Deborah.
In The Name of The Father (Daniel Day Lewis). It has an amazing soundtrack by the way - check out ‘You Made Me a Thief of Your Heart’ by Sinead O’Connor.
Pearl Jam – Ten (Even Flow is track 2!)
