Is it possible to visit every record store in Bristol in 8 hours?
Nathan Simm AKA Simma is the Yorkshire-based DJ/Producer and founder of Dub Junction record label.
When performing in Bristol earlier this year, the producer decided to see if he can visit every record shop in the city in one day.
Beginning his day at Collector Cave on Cheltenham Road and ending it at Friendly Records in Bedminster, Nathan travelled around the city to get to all 14 stores.

“I’ve always thought that the best way of exploring a city is to plot a route to visit record shops in all the different districts as this typically takes you through lots of interesting locations,” Nathan tells Bristol24/7.
“It’s often off the beaten track, filled with creative people happy to welcome you to their hometown.”
“Bristol is definitely a goldmine when it comes to vinyl record digging, with so many top-quality shops all within walking distance of each other.” Nathan explains.
“Where I live up North doesn’t have too many to visit, which is one of many reasons I love coming back to Bristol again and again!”
