End of an era

Flying Records has been at the centre of club culture for over a decade tied up with some of the UK scenes key movers including promoter Charlie Chester and DJs like Dean Thatcher and Southport Weekender stalwart Dr Bob Jones. The shop was also associated with influential labels including R/C favourite Cowboy Records, Volante and Chillifunk. A few years ago it moved from its Dean Street shop, to an online presence and a small office in Berwick Street above the market. Now the shop is being wound down by the management, however the man behind it is moving on to work on Goya Music's online presence.
