Wilderness Record Store, the neighbourhood bar and record shop in Withington, has said that it will close down - of all days - on Record Store Day this weekend. Its last day of trading will be Saturday (April 23), and it’s inviting regulars to come down and see it off.
In a post to its Instagram page, owners said: “It’s with a very heavy heart that we have to announce that Wilderness is closing down. Record Store Day this Saturday 23rd April will be our last day open. Thank you to all of the artists and bands who have played here & all of the DJs who have spun records.
“A massive thank you also goes out to every single customer who has supported us ever since we opened back in 2019, who packed themselves in like a tin of sardines to watch gigs, who kept us going throughout a global pandemic, who bought toasties when that was the only way we could reopen, and who continued to come back when the rules subsided.
