In a world dominated by streaming services and instant music access, the humble record shop might seem like a relic of the past. Yet, in Cardiff, a vibrant scene of independent record stores is not only surviving but thriving in the digital age. These shops offer far more than just vinyl- they are cultural hubs, fostering a sense of community and a love for music in its most tangible form.

People enjoying vinyl goes beyond mere nostalgia. The physical act of holding a record, appreciating the artwork, and carefully placing the needle on the groove creates a unique listening experience.

The huge liking towards vinyl and the success of Cardiff’s record stores highlight a consumer desire for authenticity and a deeper connection with music. These independent shops are cultural spaces that cultivate community, foster music discovery, and provide a listening experience that goes beyond the digital realm.

Russell Milton, who is the store manager of Kellys Records, believes in a community spirit the stores and the patrons share. “Stores like these act like a hub for fans and local artists. We chat with people coming here and there is a community spirit in a way,” he said.

“Online platforms can be a very divisive and opinionated place. With us, we have people coming through of all shapes, sizes, colours, and cultures. It is an opportunity for people to get nostalgic, but it is still alive,” says Milton.

“I feel like Cardiff is a mix of both vintage and new and they get on together quite well. The future of record stores is just healthy, touchwood,” said Milton.
