Nigel House : A History of Rough Trade, The Birth of Slam City Skates & London in the 80s!

Promote The Hell Out Of It!

We've hit Episode 30 and to celebrate I had the massive privilege of chatting to Nigel House, Co-Owner of Rough Trade!
Rough Trade is a legendary group of independent record shops with headquarters in London. At various times there were also shops in San Francisco, Tokyo and Paris. In 2007 Rough Trade opened a gorgeous shop/cafe in Brick Lane called "Rough Trade East", located in the former Truman's Brewery. I really love these guys, when I first moved into London I would head in religiously and spend money I should really have saved more paying rent.
Over the years they have put on incredible events & gigs, helped build a thriving music culture and always stayed ahead of the game. I was incredibly excited to chat with Nigel and I learnt so much from the conversation! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
