Today, Saturday, April 12th, 2025, Oakham, Rutland, is buzzing with a unique energy. It's National Record Store Day in the UK, a annual event dedicated to celebrating the vibrant culture and enduring appeal of independent record stores. And right here in the heart of town, nestled within The Maltings, Rocka-Buy Records is busy.
The dedication of vinyl enthusiasts is palpable. As dawn broke, it became clear that the anticipation for this special day had reached fever pitch. An impressive queue of eager customers snaked its way out of The Maltings and stretched along Mill Street. Among them, one name stood out for his unwavering commitment: Dennis. Determined to be the very first through the doors of Rocka-Buy this morning, Dennis began his vigil, staking his claim at 10:00 am on Friday.
Rocka-Buy Records, a cornerstone of Oakham’s independent retail scene, Tucked away in The Maltings, it’s a haven for crate diggers and casual listeners alike.
