Second Hand Records connects the Lawton Street shop with its own releases and an active dance-music programme. Founder Fatik came through record distribution and retail before opening the business in 2016; current official posts describe Musicland events, label activity and the people working behind the counter. The record selection moves through funk, soul, disco, house and techno, with jazz, hip-hop, reggae and rock widening the browse. That gives the shop a more specific role than its plain name might suggest. New and used LPs and singles make up the record selection, and buying, selling and trading remain part of the operation. Use the catalogue and event feed together, while checking whether a particular session is at the shop or elsewhere.
