NHC Shop

As some readers will know I am involved in a new venture.

For those who don’t know what I am talking about I will explain.

We, and I say we as it isn’t just me, are opening a record shop in the west end of Glasgow.

Well it’s not strictly just a record shop as apart from the vinyl and the CDs we are selling books, DVDS, Blue Rays, Merchandise and gig tickets.

The shop itself is really an extension of the New Hellfire Club, a natural next step from the website, podcast, fanzine and promoting of gigs and I am very pleased to be up to my neck in this.

So I hope that explains the lack of content being added to the blog.

We have all simply been run off our feet getting things ready.

Times are indeed a changing.

Now a bit more about why I am doing this.

Well apart from the obvious of why not, it is because like so many others I have always felt a degree of dissatisfaction with the employment side of my life.

There have been many positives in what I do as a day job, and I have worked with very many lovely people, but deep down it isn’t what I feel that I am naturally inclined to gravitate towards.

It’s like that instant association thing when someone asks you to say your dream job, no thinking, just say it fast.

If anyone was to do that with me then what would fly from my lips is not what I currently do.

It would be the word “music”.

I want to be involved in music.

I want to swim in it, breath it in, feast on it and exist within a world of swirling notes that will carry me forward in my life.

And now as middle age wraps its arms around me I have this opportunity and I am not going to let it slip past.

I am going to make that leap and sweat blood to make a success of it as if I don’t now then when will the opportunity arise again?

The words “shoulda, woulda, coulda” will not be part of my future conversations.

This is it.

So wish us all luck, and more than that come and see us.

I think the majority will be surprised at what we are doing as we are looking to be more than just a record shop.

If you do want to pop along then you can find us in the hidden lane in the west end.

The shop is tucked away in a corner at Unit 4, 1103 Argyle Street.

We are open from the 18^th of August, but on the 23^rd and 24^th (Sat and Sun) we have six acoustic performers on each day to entertain you as you browse.

There may even be wine.

Oh okay. There will be wine. J
