'I want people to feel like they can come in for a chat.' 😍🎸
The owner of a Tardis-like vinyl store on Smithdown Road was inspired by his friends to launch the business, and "didn't expect" so many people to venture inside "just to talk".
Defend Vinyl specialises in indie, alternative and US punk music. The back room is surprisingly spacious and, according to the owner, plays host to "a bit of everything". "I'd seen independent businesses opening up like Evil Eye - it's closed now - and Maguire's Pizza bar in town, and Lovelocks. They were all owned by mates and they'd had dreams of opening small businesses and they followed through with it, so it inspired me and made me think I could do it myself.
Since then, the business has gone from strength to strength. For music aficionado Graham, who lives in Aigburth, owning a record shop was just the beginning.
