Edith chats to Tom Ravenscroft live from the heart of Soho as part of Record Store Day.

Edith chats to Tom Ravenscroft live from Soho's Berwick Street, where independent vinyl and record stores are joining forces to celebrate Record Store Day.

As part of Record Store Day, Edith will be chatting to Tom Ravenscroft through the show live in the heart of Soho in London.

Tom will be on Berwick Street, where independent vinyl and record stores are joining forces to celebrate Record Store Day, looking out for the many exclusive vinyl and CD releases and enjoying live music, bands and DJs performing throughout the area.

Berwick Street has been a destination for vinyl record collectors since the 1980s when it became known as 'The Golden Mile of Vinyl'. This corner of Soho is still home to central London's largest concentration of thriving independent record shops; Reckless Records, Sister Ray and The Music and Video Exchange as well as Sounds of the Universe around the corner on Broadwick Street, Black Market Soho on D'Arblay Street and Phonica on Poland Street.

The area has a strong music heritage and many associations with the industry. It was the location for the cover shoot of the 1995 Oasis album '(What's The Story) Morning Glory', Ian Brown cycled backwards down Berwick Street in the music video for F.E.A.R. and T-Rex front man Marc Bolan worked on his mum's stall on Berwick Street market in the 1960s.
