Yesterday, there was unanimous support from Councillors at the Full Council Meeting for the motion in support of Record Store Day which takes place on 20th April. The motion was put forward by Cllr Liam Hainey, one of the new Green Councillors elected to Glasgow City Council.
The motion states, "On the 20th of April, places around the world will celebrate Independent Record Store Day. Council recognises
and applauds the contribution that independent record shops throughout
the city have made to the music scene for which Glasgow is world
renowned and celebrated, as recognised by our status as a UNESCO city of
music.Council
further recognises the significant benefits more generally that small
local business bring to the culture and economy of Glasgow. Council
therefore instructs the Glasgow City Marketing Bureau to publicise this event in
order to support the city's independent record stores and their valuable addition to our city."
Today, I spotted a poster for a special event to celebrate Record Store Day at Oxfam Music in Byres Road.
This TYCI Record Store Day Special featuring Siobhan Wilson, Kitty The Lion, Jo Mango and Kirstin Innes takes place at 4pm.
