What A Great Day!
We had plenty of interest in Soho's rich, musical heritage, our poster on "The Sound History of Soho" was well received although we couldn't do it real justice as it would need a dozen posters to cover this area, but I think we gave people a flavour of the variety and longevity of music in Soho.

We had veterans of " Dobells Record store Jazz, Blues and Folk" A legendary record shop That once existed at 77 Charing Cross Rd at our stall.
They currently have an exhibition on at CHELSEA space and is well worth a visit with talks and open decks continuing until 18.05.13

The whole point of the day is to celebrate music and the Indie record stores that have been such a big, part of peoples lives "They're more like clubs, where you can meet people with the same passion".
