EGEA UK Alternative Music Shop
EGEA Distribution, the company which has been distributing Smithsonian Folkways in Europe for the past few years, has decided to buck the trend of the 21st century and open a real (as opposed to virtual) record shop in London. Their slogan 'you can download a tune, but you can't download culture' is so much in accord with my own thinking that I felt it important to give then this little bit of exposure.


The shop opened last week at 267 Archway Road, Highgate, London N6 5BS - and they stock, apart from anything else, the entire Smithsonian Folkways back catalogue! You can contact them at: 0208 347 5555 or via their website at: www.egeadistribution.co.uk/alternativemusicshop

With local (and national) music shops closing down at an alarming rate these days, it sounds as if they deserve our support.
