“When our shop opened in 1975, my brothers and I sold almost every person in this town their first single. In the years since, how and when people listen to their favorite artists has changed many times and we’ve loved being a part of the scene through it all.
“In recent years it’s been amazing to experience the vinyl revival – if you’d asked me 10 years ago, I never would have dreamt we’d be back selling records, but it’s come full circle and now, vinyl is one of our most popular products.
“This Record Fair is about celebrating that vinyl revival – bringing everyone together under one roof for the love of music and appreciation for the unique sound only vinyl can provide.”
Stewart’s Music Shop Record Fair takes place Upstairs in the Basement, 9a Irish Street, Dungannon on Saturday October 7 10 – 4. Admission free.
