Record Store Day 2026 – Thank You

We’d like to thank everyone who turned out for Record Store Day last month — it was truly off-the-hook.

It was incredibly special to see so many happy faces through the doors, and we’re still buzzing from the atmosphere. The team worked overtime to make the day a success and we really hope everyone managed to pick up the records they were after.

A huge thank you as well to everybody who supported us online and kept the momentum going throughout the weekend.

In-Store Performances

We’ve been treated to some very special in-store performances over the last month.

A big thank you to Scustin, Leevy Band and Mark Geary for pulling out all the stops during their appearances. Curtisy returned for his third Spindizzy show and once again did not disappoint.

Ronan Ó Snodaigh and Miles O’Reilly delivered a beautifully intimate performance celebrating their new album Mise Tusa, while Delivery Service played an incredible sold-out show, with their EP quickly becoming a collector’s item.
