A UNIQUE and independent record store will be celebrating all things vinyl during an event in Colchester next month.

Stone Man Records is a pop-up record shop which is often found in an array of different shops in Colchester and its surrounding areas.

On April 20, from 10am until 3pm, it will be marking Record Store Day at TwoBrews, in Church Street, where it will show off its huge selection of vinyl records. 

Record Store Day is a chance for people who buy and sell vinyl records to come together and honour the special role record shops play in their local communities.

In the UK, more than 270 shops participate in the annual celebration. 

Jonathan Stoneman, the owner of Stone Rock Records, said: "Celebrating Record Store Day is very exciting.

"It will feel like a validation of all the work I am putting in and if it can stir up some more excitement toward the medium of vinyl, that’s a win-win.

"This will be Stone Rock's first Record store day and although we won't be affiliated with the organisation running it, we will still be celebrating with pride."
