BBC Radio 6 Music Stars Steve Lamacq And Huw Stephens Visit Newport’s Triple A Records

BBC Radio 6 Music presenters Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens visited Newport business Triple A Records ahead of a broadcast live from the Isle of Wight.

The radio legends stopped by to speak to owners Andy Barding and Jonathan Bacon about the Isle of Wight music scene, what records sell best and the Wight Music Experience museum on the shop’s first floor.

Steve and Huw’s visit came ahead of a broadcast live from Strings Bar and Venue, as part of Independent Venue Week.

Performing in the evening after the show was Coach Party, who recently took to the stage inside Triple A Records to promote their second studio album, Caramel.

Triple A Records boasts thousands of records, CDs and cassettes, as well as music memorabilia from the 1960s to modern day.

The shop regularly hosts live concerts and has seen performances from local acts including rock trio Voodoo Raven and singer-songwriter Ruby, the latter of whom was also featured on the Radio 6 show.
