Tell us about the people behind the scenes?
We're a pretty small operation, so I sort of take care of all the day to day running, we are also an espresso bar so when I'm out and about looking at collections, Tayla looks after the place for me. My gorgeous wife is my right hand , foot and head. She gave me the confidence to make me chase and catch my life long dream of having my own record store .... she's as crazy as me.
When and why did the store open?
We opened just over 4 years ago after an industrial accident and subsequent knee surgery stopped me from returning to physical labour (ie construction). My wife Becky then convinced me to pursue this nuttso venture. So, it happens that i'd been squirreling away a large amount of vinyl for many years in case this ever happened. I found the right location in Redcliffe, sold a few of my guitars for some quick cash, a mate helped fixed the roof and with a grand total of 38 cents in our bank account .... we opened.
