Over the last five years an independent record shop has closed in the UK every three days. This documentary paints an affectionate portrait of one of the very last still trading – a vinyl record shop in Teesside, a cultural haven in one of the most deprived areas in the UK. It features contributions from the shop owners, and those record lovers that shop there, plus a performance from Saint Saviour.
Filmmaker Jeanie Finlay, who grew up three miles from the shop, follows daily life in a place that is thriving against the odds, ensured of survival by the local community that keeps it alive. A distinctive, funny and intimate film about men, the North and the irreplaceable role music plays in our lives.
