Meet Ian From The Record Vault At Redlands

Explore this family-run record shop! Opening at Redlands Yard on Saturday, 23rd November (10% off sales for their opening week!).

Ian & Emma, who live in Drimpton, began their journey as an online store, sharing their passion for music. After ten years, they then decided to branch out into the physical world, creating a space where music lovers can come together. They take great pride in curating a diverse selection of records and fostering a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who walks through the doors.
However, the journey really began when Ian worked in a local record shop in Hampshire when he was 14 years young, which is where the, some would say, obsession began! Emma too, loves all types of music and is enthusiastic about the benefits of listening to, and owning vinyl.
Ian said “After buying a house in Drimpton in 2018, and finally having the opportunity to move in permanently in 2023, we have been eyeing a location to start our dream business and Redlands Yard seemed the perfect choice.
As well as enjoying the local community in the Yard, we are looking to start a music club, think book club for records where we will suggest an album to listen to each month and come together socially to discuss our thoughts and ideas, likes and dislikes, and anything else we have found interesting about the LP.” If you are interested, please contact Ian.

As one would expect, Ian and Emma buy vinyls too: 7″ and 12″ singles and LPs offering good prices.  All genres are welcome:

  • Rock
  • Reggae/Ska
  • Punk
  • Prog
  • Pop
  • Disco/Funk
  • Soul
  • Blues

They also provides a service to help retrieve vinyls from storage (lofts, garages, sheds etc.) as well as also making unique gifts for your loved ones (or a treat for yourself!) including a box of genuine, original vinyl from the year of your birth, a framed original of the No.1 when you were born, a meaning full song or album, or your first dance! They can help complete want-lists, convert records for jukeboxes (it’s called ‘dinking’ in case you were interested!).
They look forward to welcoming you into The Record Vault for a browse, to add to your collection, or simply to have a chat about anything music or vinyl related.


You can contact Ian on : 07737 003891
Email: ian@recordvault.co.uk
or just call in to chat all things vinyl! 🙂

    This includes men’s contributions to society, family, community, marriage, child care, and the environment.
  3. Focusing on men’s health and wellbeing
    This includes men’s social, emotional, physical, and spiritual health and wellbeing.
  4. Highlighting discrimination against men
    This includes discrimination in social services, law, and social attitudes and expectations.

Visit the website HERE. Sign up to receive their newsletter HERE.

November is also Movember… The leading charity changing the face of men’s health: addressing mental health and suicide issues, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
Movember first started in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 when two friends (Travis Garone and Luke Slattery) talked 30 of  their friends into growing a ‘Mo’ (moustache). They had been inspired by a friend’s mother who was fundraising for breast cancer, they decided to make the campaign about men’s health and prostate cancer.
By 2007, the campaign had grown internationally including the UK campaign with The Prostate Cancer Charity. There are now official campaigns in 21 countries around the world 🙂

CAST: Issa Rae, Adam Brody, Leslie Uggams, John Ortiz, Erika Alexander,
Sterling K. Brown, Jeffrey Wright & Tracee Ellis Ross.
(Running time: 1hr 57mins)

AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiJng from “Black” entertainment that relies on Jred and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness.
