Slow Century Records, Knowle High Street

Well… that was something special!

Our opening weekend was everything we’d hoped for and more. We’re still buzzing from the incredible turnout - honestly, it completely blew us away.

Seeing so many people come through the doors, chatting music, flicking through the crates, and just sharing the buzz of it all was unforgettable.

We were genuinely honoured to have the Mayor of Solihull and local councillors drop by to show their support - it meant a lot to see the local community getting behind what we’re doing.

And what an atmosphere - Guitar George Wilson delivered an incredible acoustic set in the shop, showing everyone just how much real talent is out there right now at a grassroots level. His performance filled the room and perfectly captured what we’re all about - passion, authenticity, and great music.

By the end of the weekend it looked like we were running out of records, but rest assured we’ve fully restocked!

So if you missed out, or just fancy another dig through the racks, come by and check out our new collections.

We absolutely loved meeting everyone who came through the door, hearing your stories, and talking all things vinyl. This shop has been a dream for us, and seeing it come to life like that means the world.

Thanks again to everyone who made our opening weekend such a success - we can’t wait to see you again soon.

Slow Century Records - now open on Knowle High Street, Solihull.

Still spinning online via Discogs too!
