Beloved Glasgow record shop LP Records have announced 2019 shall see the launch of their online radio platform focussed on new music discovery, airing a carefully curated mix of programmes and podcasts live from the shop in Glasgow's west end.
Despite a slight hiatus earlier on in the year, since opening in 2015, owner Lorenzo has placed new music at the forefront of his agenda. From carving a solid reputation of stocking the beloved and the obscure on their shelves, guaranteed not to be found nowhere else in the city, to starting a label also in his name to promote and publish some of Scotland's most promising musicians, having dabbled in audio formats in the past the next logical step would be to start their own online platform! Programming will be 24 hour and include both live and pre-recorded show, highlighting a variety of guests.
Lorenzo describes the venture as: "Free from agenda, guidelines, and pretension. A radio station for music, debate, patter and community.”
Though exact plans are yet to be announced, the campaign looks promising. Having launched a Kickstarter to get plans off the ground LP have not only reached the target but nearly doubled it proving tenfold that radio in fact is not dead, particularly not when the support from the local community rings so loud. Money raised will go into licensing and studio equipment.
