Manchester and music are synonymous. From punk in the 70s, indie in the 80s, Madchester in the 90s, and then the Britpop boom shortly after, each era has brought a distinct soundtrack to life in this great city.
And the best tunes can be found in one of Manchester's finest institutions, Piccadilly Records. Now on Oldham Street, the record store has become a pilgrimage for vinyl lovers from all over the country.
With all the latest releases and a back catalogue of classic records, the shop is a music-lover's paradise. We spoke to shop assistant Martin Evans, to find out what makes him tick.
