Pie & Vinyl

[Tim]

There is a great feature in this months Word about a new record store in Southsea, called Pie & Vinyl. I thought it deserved a mention and what a great idea, combining something like Pie & Mash with a record purchase. The co-owners (Steve Courtnell and Rob Litchfield) both gave up desk jobs to pursue their dream. "We knew a record shop on its own wouldn't work, we had to combine it with something that made the idea more exciting. We believe in the resurgence of vinyl - combining that with a comfort food seemed to make perfect sense. There's a lot of romanticism attached to both listening to music and eating pie and mash"

Next time I'm at the Wedgewood Rooms I'll be nipping in for a pie and a listen beforehand :)

Interestingly the end of the article states that both Tesco and Asda are supposedly planning on selling turntables by Christmas 2012.

Eating pie and handling records isn't an ideal match. Would need an RCM for removing the gravy. :lol::lol::lol:

Marco.

Why would you? Unless you trying to avoid practicing onanism! :eyebrows:

[Marco]

Dunno, the thought just popped into my nut! :D

Marco.

[snuffbox]

I want a shop like that.

Edinburgh needs this idea!

Edinburgh needs this idea!
I think it could catch on, or ideas like it. With book stores closing and record sales climbing I reckon we could have coffee/record stores soon like we have book/coffee shops and who knows what else. Even though I don't have a TT I love the romanticism of vinyl and remember how special it was to buy records. I love the idea that youngsters are starting to catch on to it as a medium. Get the little buggers off Facebook and into a store that plays real music I say ;)
