Evening all,
Just wanted to reach out to say thank you to everyone who came to support as we begin celebrating 50 years of Mr Tees, Kidderminster. We've collated some of the pictures from Saturday to share below.
Firstly, Martina MJ Jade and Lee, did a lovely job getting the decks out and playing bangers all day. We are looking forward to being at their festival and opening up more weekends in the shop with them. MJ, thanks again for supporting Stu & Ad straighten up the Dance Room for the open day.
Customers new & old, thank you for visiting. If you didn't make it, we had a steady stream of customers throughout the day, many new, in their words "overwhelmed", by the amount of Dance 12's we are selling.
We had an impromptu guest Darren Price aka Priceless "Can You Feel It", who found his production in the club classics section and for only £3. Stu noted "it was massive for Judge Jules, and not all amazing records are £25+". Darren was a sport and got the shop dancing by banging it on the decks! (Video will be posted below).
The team extends a thank you to Councillor Doug Hine, the Mayor of Kidderminster who passed through and caught up with Terry, Ad & Stu around some of the challenges we are facing. In particular, Stu took 5 to give Doug an overview of the high level of mental health challenges in our scene and the value our shop brings to the community and in bringing people together. We will do a wider share on this later in the week and we look forward to collaborating with some of the charities based in the Wyre Forest over the coming months to help with this cause.
Doug also span some tunes and you can see from the pictures he has excellent taste, lining up some Strictly Rhythm House classics.
Furthermore, Terry was broadcast on BBC Hereford & Worcester . Always pretty cool when you can say Robert Plant Led Zeppelin is one of our customers. Please take 5 minutes to listen if you get a chance, link in the comments.
Finally, please can we ask you share or tag your friends in this post as it's only through support like we had on Saturday that we can continue to thrive and look to grow what we do for Kidderminster and the wider music scene.
Thanks again from everyone at Mr Tees.
