| ***Second Layer Records Highgate Shop Closing*** |
|
|
|
Saturday 23rd June will be the final day of the Highgate shop. There are a multitude of reasons why I have decided to close but in summary: 1) I have a lot of things I want to do outside of the shop and cannot justify the time spent here; 2) The majority of customers now reserve records via phone/email and simply collect, and although this is not a problem in itself, the role of running Second Layer Records as a public shop with set opening hours seems increasingly redundant to me.
I’ve been blessed with unbelievably cheap rent that has enabled me to survive but that is no reason to stay when your enthusiasm is waning. I have to be enjoying myself to do this – there is no point otherwise – so it now feels right to move on and use the time for other things.
I want to say a big thanks to everyone who has supported the shop over the years. I’ve had a lot of fun and I've met some really great people who will not be forgotten.
***PLEASE NOTE: The mail-order will be carrying on as per usual and customers will be able to collect records from a North London location by appointment only.*** |
