“Every in-store we have, we ask the band or artist in advance what kind of pie they would like and how does that best describe their sound.” – Steve Courtnell, Pie & Vinyl.

This is the 12th part of our ‘Behind The Counter’ video series which tells the stories behind the wonderful world of the independent record shops presented by Classic Album Sundays, Record Store Day UK and Bowers & Wilkins.
