The Oxfam Music Shop Glasgow

Vinyl countdown

Scott from Glasgow

About me I am an artist and illustrator and have lived in Glasgow since 1990 when I graduated from Art School in Bath. I came here and worked as a volunteer with young homeless people. I very quickly fell in love with the city, the beauty of the rest of the country and the people living here. Eventually I got full time work and worked in the Homeless sector for 24 years, whilst selling my ar...
""The Oxfam Music Shop" Glasgow is one of those record shops where you can rummage and flick for an hour or so to find a whiff of forgotten nostalgia."

Oxfam is the well known charity shop chain we see everywhere in all our cities and a fantastic job they do. Usually they are the same second hand clothing, brick a brac and book shops we see on every high street. This is a charity shop devoted to music, the music lover and vinyl, loads of vinyl.

Vinyl, as everyone knows, has made a big comeback. We're all dusting off our old turntables and giving those crackly, warped and dog eared records a well-deserved spin again. This shop is a little cabin of wax delights. It's one of those record shops where you can rummage and flick for an hour or so to find a wee gem or a whiff of nostalgia for a forgotten disc of your youth. Old Beatles classics, Rush, Willie Nelson, Icicle Works, X Ray Specs and Kylie Minogue stand shoulder to shoulder in perfect harmony! There are LPs, 7 inch singles, imports and coloured discs aplenty.

The shop also sells CDs, DVDs, tapes, sheet music and occasionally the odd actual musical instrument for those budding Bob Dylan's or wannabe Scary Spices. It's also the place to find like minded aficionados, DJs looking for something to sample and the odd bloke like me wanting to rekindle a memory with a forgotten tune.

Based in the West End of Glasgow, Oxfam Music Shop is well worth a look, a listen and a bargain always to be had.

And don't forget you can make donations or even volunteer.

Glasgow Spotter Scott

About me I am an artist and illustrator and have lived in Glasgow since 1990 when I graduated from Art School in Bath. I came here and worked as a volunteer with young homeless people. I very quickly fell in love with the city, the beauty of the rest of the country and the people living here. Eventually I got full time work and worked in the Homeless sector for 24 years, whilst selling my artwork part time in local galleries and art markets. In 2014 I decided to take the plunge and quit my job and become a full time artist and illustrator. I sell work in a local gallery as w...
