Queues could be seen in Walkden town centre last week as Walkdens record store, Sticky Black Tarmac, took part in record store day.
Brandon Nolen, 23, is a one-man team who set up his own record store last October, which has proven popular: “A record store was something I thought would be great to do down the line but in lockdown i was working from home in what was just a regular office job, so it was just something that i thought more and more about. I thought why wait to have a go i might as well start now.”
Six months after the shop’s opening Mr. Nolen took to social media to show that he would be taking part in his first national record store day.
Record store day is the one day a year when over 260 independent record shops all accross the UK come together to celebrate their unique culture. There are special vinyls made especially for the day each year.
