I would ideally like to interview the owner of Resident records, which is an independently run LP shop in the North Lanes. I am personally interested in records and I thought given Brighton's vibrant and music loving nature. i thought this kind of interview would be very fitting.
Here is the email I have sent them asking if they would be interested in being involved in my 3 minute interview.
Hello Derry,
My name is Ella Dowling and I have just started a media degree at Sussex university.
One of my first tasks is to produce a short interview with a Brighton resident who will have an interesting perspective on how Brighton as evolved in recent years.
I want to put a bit of a spin on this and focus on Brighton's music lovers. Having been subjected an upbringing of punk, reggae and new wave vinyl and many trips to Sister Ray Records in Soho over many years this feels the natural way to go.
Your passion for music and Brighton make you the ideal subject and I would love to explore your statement "Brighton couldn’t have been a better place for establishing our business – culturally rich, loads of live music venues, bands forming in every pub corner – the perfect environment for us 2 music lovers to get back to what really makes us tick" and how you have seen this evolve and change over the decade you have been established. I would also be very interested to hear your views on what is behind the resurgence of vinyl.
The thought of interviewing someone who has managed to maintain the integrity of the independent record shop for over a decade against a backdrop of competition from soulless chain stores and Amazon seems very exciting so please say yes.
It would be really great if you could help me with my first project and I promise not to be disruptive! I would be very happy to come along to the shop and discuss in person if that would help my case.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Ella
