Record Day in the groove

Record Store Day, the global annual celebration of independent music shops, will take place on April 17th. Last year, shops all over Ireland hosted in-store performances, raffles and giveaways, and this year is set to be similarly successful, with indie outlets in Dublin, Cork, Mullingar, Belfast, Derry and more set to participate.
