So the time has come to announce that Labyrinth Records will be closing. It’s been an amazing two years, and before saying anything else I want to thank every person who’s supported the shop since it opened in August 2020. Also a huge thanks to the wonderful people at and all of our brilliant neighbours at the Barry site. I couldn’t have done any of it without you.
To clarify the closure a little more; as some of you may know it’s just one person who runs Labyrinth, myself; Tom. Over the last two years I’ve split my time running the shop and pursuing my long term goal of becoming a freelance culture journalist. It’s now got to the point where I must choose which one to focus on, and unfortunately I have to give the majority of my time over to this next chapter of my life.
It’s a challenging time for small business right now and to make it work you have to give 110%, which I’m just not able to do any more. It’s a bittersweet ending. While I’ll miss the shop and all the people surrounding it, I’m also extremely excited by the opportunities that are opening up for me.
Labyrinth’s last trading day is going to be Sunday 11th September. From now until then all of our remaining stock will be sold at a 30% discount. If you can, come on down and pick something up and have a chat. Thank you once again to everyone who’s supported the shop over the last two years, it’s been brilliant.
