Cardwells Estate Agents will be opening early in Bury this Saturday to support the crowds expected for Record Store Day. With music fans expected to begin queueing from the early hours, the team at Cardwells Bury are offering a warm welcome, access to facilities and a place to take a short break from the weather.
Record Store Day takes place on Saturday 18th April and is one of the most anticipated dates in the calendar for independent record shops. Across the UK and Ireland, hundreds of stores take part each year, giving music lovers the chance to buy exclusive vinyl releases and special edition records that are only available through independent retailers.
In Bury, Cardwells Estate Agents are showing their support for the local community by opening their office doors from 5am for those queueing outside Wax and Beans on Market Street. As a neighbouring business, Cardwells are proud to play a small part in helping make the day more comfortable and enjoyable for those attending.
Supporting Record Store Day in Bury
Record Store Day began in 2007 when independent record shop owners in the United States came together to celebrate the unique culture of record stores. Since then, it has grown into a global event and is now recognised as one of the biggest annual occasions in the music retail calendar.
Each year, collectors and music fans queue for hours to get their hands on exclusive releases. In many places, that means early starts, overnight waits and a real sense of excitement around the event. Bury has become part of that tradition, with Wax and Beans attracting strong support from music lovers across the region.
Queues Expected Again at Wax and Beans
Wax and Beans, the independent record and coffee shop at 16 Market Street, is once again expected to welcome large numbers for Record Store Day. Owned by partners Ben Soothill and Louise Jackson, the business has built a loyal following and has become a key part of Bury’s independent scene.
Last year, people travelled from places including Blackpool and Bacup, with some even camping outside the shop to secure exclusive records. With a similar turnout expected this year, nearby businesses are helping to support the event and the people attending.
Cardwells Opening from 5am
As their office sits just next door at 14 Market Street, Cardwells Estate Agents Bury will be opening from 5am on Saturday morning to offer those in the queue a little respite.
Visitors will be able to step inside if they need a break from the weather or access to facilities during the early morning wait. It is a simple gesture, but one that reflects the strong sense of community between local businesses in Bury town centre.
Andrew Cardwell, Managing Director at Cardwells, said the team are proud to be part of the Bury community and wanted to do their bit to support both Wax and Beans and the many people expected to attend.
Live Music from The Radio Addicts
As well as opening early, Cardwells have also arranged an exclusive acoustic performance from local young band The Radio Addicts to entertain those waiting in the queue.
The live performance is expected to add even more atmosphere to what is already set to be a lively and memorable day in the town centre. With hundreds, and potentially even more visitors, expected to travel into Bury, the event promises to be another major success for the local music community.
A Great Example of Local Community Spirit
Record Store Day is about more than just exclusive vinyl. It also highlights the importance of independent businesses and the role they play in bringing people together.
The support shown by Cardwells for Wax and Beans is a great example of that local community spirit in action. Businesses working side by side, helping to create a positive experience for visitors, is part of what makes events like this so special.
Wax and Beans also shared their thanks publicly on social media, describing Cardwells as great friends and neighbours and thanking them for the kind gesture.
