DJ Readman History of Record Shop Series and More

  Thank you for Contacting us regarding the Unicorn Inn, Market Place, Banbury.   The Unicorn Inn is a Grade II* Listed Building and therefore is designated as a building of high significance. The council have recently been liaising with colleagues at Historic England to enter the Unicorn inn on to the Heritage at Risk register 2022 so that this will enable access to additional expertise that Historic England can provide and enable us to work more closely going forward.   The planning history on the building shows that Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent were granted in 2016 (16/01661/F & 16/01662/LB) for the conversion of the building to residential properties. This permission was not implemented and therefore is no longer a valid permission. Further applications to renew the lapsed permission were received at the beginning of 2020 (20/00063/F & 20/00064/LB) but these were never validated and were not proceeded with. Therefore the site no longer has a...

Demand Records This was a record shop which I owned from 1984 to 2005. This was the next step from car boots which I was doing weekly. I moved into a kiosk sized place which was found by a friend of mine as I only had so much stock and rent money.  This all started up in Parson Street, Banbury.  It was a small place and I wanted to see how it did. I always wanted to run my own record shop. This ended up running for two and a half years. After that time I had to move to a new location because the business owner who owned the property where we were paying rent to was selling up.  We found a place double the size down George Street.  It turned out that I had enough stock to fill it.  I hadn’t realised I was cramming that much in the space I had been in. After I settled down and a while later, the most significant shift in business was drum and bass vinyl. The market was growing because of major events at the Sanctuary, Milton Keynes.  I can't remember how I f...

                                                                 Photo is just an example After coming back from Canada after realising the Visa I wanted in order to stay there was going to take far longer than my passport time would allow,  I am now temporarily staying with family until I can find work that can pay bills. This leads me into the next step, finding a place to live. I don't need much but I realised I need space and INTERNET. OMG do I need that. I only have net in my phone at the moment. It's amazing how much you need the net even just applying for work. Seriously, the need for the Internet is as  bad as needing electric. A small one bedroom flat is all I need.  Bills included but if that is not possible, that's fair enough. I decent shower as well. I don't want to share, I prefer my own space. E...

All I need is the equipment then I will be set as soon as I get a job and move to a flat with a net connection. I just moved back to the U.K to start work on getting back to my wife in Edmonton, Canada. I love editing videos and sometimes getting paid by client but in reality it's only a hobby. YouTube doesn't pay the bills either but I want to continue it.  I've had way too many breaks from it because real life happens. The next phase is live music news streaming. Due to most of the music getting copyrights I will make no money from YouTube. Its pretty random with that. I have been toying with idea for ages but not until I saw Popcorned Planet, who gave me the idea. I'm not going to tackle mainstream because that is just too much work for me to mentally handle.  I have seen many youtubers do this with OBS software and such.  I will be promoting independent music for the most part. I will just stick to music I receive from labels and PR companys First things...
