A RECORD shop in Leigh has celebrated another successful Record Store Day, with music lovers queuing overnight to secure limited-edition releases.
Sticky Black Tarmac, located in Leigh Spinners Mill, posted on Facebook that customers had been queuing since 8:30 pm the night before to ensure they didn’t miss out on their favourites.
Record Store Day is held annually, with around 300 independent shops across the UK and Ireland coming together to celebrate their unique culture.
Other businesses at the mill got involved with the big day, with coffee shop Bocoffeeco opening from 4:30 am to serve vinyl enthusiasts.
“At Bocoffeeco, everything we do is about bringing a bit of the city into Leigh – creating a space that feels different, welcoming, and built around community,” explained owner Matt.
“For Record Store Day, we partnered with Sticky Black Tarmac to create something that felt true to that, blending coffee, music, and culture in one space for people to enjoy together.
“The weekend was exactly what we hoped for - busy from start to finish, a great atmosphere in the shop, plenty of new faces through the door, and a real reminder of what can happen when people come together to support something local.”
Spinners Mill Micropub also took part, opening from 12 pm to serve beers, ciders, wines, and hot dogs.
Leigh Spinners Mill is a hub bringing heritage, arts, culture, sports, and business to the people of Leigh.
It can be found on Park Lane, Leigh, WN7 2LB.
