A local record shop have celebrated 2 years of trade.
Rocka-Buy Records have celebrated 2 years of trade from their Oakham-based store this bank holiday weekend.
Monday 29 May marked 2 years of music, vinyl and 'living the dream' for the local record shop and owner, Dean Poole.
Run the vinyl enthusiast and ex Care Manager for Rutland County Council, the shop first appeared in The Maltings, just off Mill Street, in May 2021.
Initially located at 8 The Maltings, last September, Dean relocated to the former home of Sweeney Todd the barbers to make space for his ever-growing stock.
Since then, they have helped 100s of music lovers find the perfect record, stocked some seriously cool rare records and welcomed a brand new sign, painted by local artist, Anna Margaret Art.
Dean Poole decided to take the leap and open the store after a full-time career as a carer for the NHS. During the tail end of the pandemic, his dream became a reality.
While it has not been without its trials, Rocka-Buy has also witnessed many a tribulation and, with Dean's ongoing zeal, it is clear to see why.
No matter your taste, he is enthusiastic about music and so passionate about making sure that you walk out of the store with the perfect record to add to your collection.
For a little taste of this enthusiasm, as well as a variety of videos, reels and images of what is on offer in store, follow Rocka-Buy Records on Facebook.

We look forward to hearing from you.
