We have a winner of our signed Reverend & The Makers record store tour poster. 🥁

Congratulations !! 🏆

Your poster is in the shop ready for collection. 😊

16/05/2026

It’s been a mad few weeks! 😊

I’ve never really cared much for the charts but having now played a tiny part in a few campaigns and seeing how hard artists work to support their albums, it becomes hard not to ‘pick a team’ come the Friday announcements. 🥇

We’ve had a number 1, number 3 and number 7 UK album chart artist stop by the floral market town in the last three weeks. Crazy when you think about it. 🤯

Huge thanks to everyone who’s bought an album and ticket bundle for any of our events, it not only helps the artists you love climb the charts but also helps us to keep attracting them to our little town. 🖤
