Approaching Tomorrow

So Record Store Day 2011 is tomorrow! In a musical age which is dominated by digital downloading. Record Store Day celebrates Independant Records Stores. These record stores are so significant for musical communites.

I spoke to John Tolley, the main man at Kingstons brilliant Banquet Records. He was preparing for his Record Store Day this afternoon and took ten minutes out to have a quick chat about what’s going on tomorrow.
