A city record shop which opened in January is to close at the end of this month as it hunts for a bigger home.

Punk specialists Dirt opened in Magdalen Street in a small shop under the flyover at the start of the year, but will leave its current home at the end of its lease and search for bigger premises where it can display all of its stock.

The shop was opened by Mark Blenkiron, who worked in Piccadilly Circus's legendary Tower Records during the 1980s and also ran his own record label and radio station, sells vinyl records and CDs as well as a wide range of band t-shirts.

Bosses are hoping to stay in the NR3 area and to open the new store in the coming months, after acquiring a large assortment of new stock.

When opening the shop at the start of the year Mr Blenkiron said: "We've been pretty busy almost every day we've been open so far.

"I'm hoping we can give people something they can't get elsewhere.

"We could probably do with a bit more space but I've always been into punk music and anything noisy really so this is perfect."
