What a beautiful store! I was so impressed with the friendly service and the wonderful variety of goods. The books were a big hit with the grandkids, and my brother is happily listening to his favourite tunes on the turntable. Thank you—we’ll definitely be back! 😊

Huge shoutout to Kate and Neil for an amazing online shopping experience. I didn’t expect such a personal touch when ordering records online, but these guys went above and beyond.

From start to finish, the service felt thoughtful - great communication, careful packaging and handwritten note - it’s clear they genuinely care about what they do. And when there was a minor issue, they were so quick to rectify it, even though it was a Father’s Day Sunday.

So massive thanks and congratulations to the team, you’ve definitely gained a repeat customer. Highly recommend!
