This week's episode of Behind The Counter features Tough Love in St Leonards on Sea.
“I decided I wanted to open the kind of shop that I couldn’t find. Part of the important thing for me was to make this shop a safe space. I want to encourage females to come and feel comfortable in that kind of space. I wasn’t always made to feel that way when I was younger, I felt very intimidated, so I definitely wanted to create the opposite vibe in here.”
Behind The Counter is a 12-part video series that tells the stories behind the wonderful world of independent record shops.
Presented by Classic Album Sundays and Record Store Day UK, in partnership with Bowers & Wilkins.
A new episode will drop every Tuesday in the run up to #RSD24 which will share the unique stories from around the UK. Get to know your local shops!
