Tallbird Records, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK

After the town’s only two shops selling music (HMV and Hudson’s) closed down, leaving it without a record shop, owner, Maria says she felt this “had to be put right.” In 2013, Maria Harris opened Tallbird records – a riff on her 6-foot stature – selling new releases and the most sought-after second-hand titles. After just three years, Tallbird has become “a destination shop” for the town’s visitors.
