The BLACK DOT

The BLACK DOT What started as a secret store that's motto was "Hard to find, never open" has morphed into a record label for artists of an interesting ilk.

A store with a curious blend of the absurd and sublime in many musical genres. Hand picked discs from the golden age of music and beyond. An ebb and flow of aural flotsam and a little jetsam. Open by announcement and appointment. Contact us for further info and private viewings. If you'd like to keep up on events and openings via email please message us and we'll add you our list.
