A bopping Leeds grandad and market trader, who just loves the sound of classic rock and roll, fancies himself a “lone ranger” as he contends with the “cut and thrust” of Leeds Kirkgate Market.
Andy Wilcox, 76, has beaten the cold, rain and snow, as he boogies beside his outdoor market stall selling musical instruments for 20 years. But there’s one threat which has been edging him out of business and slowing that spring in his step.
The online marketplace is causing havoc with his trade. The record player swerves and the music stops, as Andy shrugs his shoulders mournfully and admits business is “forever changing, people change with it or die off”.
