Wrecking Ball Music and Books opened its doors at the end of September in the East Arcade of Hull’s Princes’ Quay.

The new shop sells the entire Wrecking Ball Press catalogue, as well as a range of books from independent publishers, new and used vinyl, merchandise, gifts and gig tickets.

The independent retail outlet is a joint venture between Wrecking Ball editor Shane Rhodes and Gary Marks.

Three weeks in and the shop is proving to be a success and has quickly established itself as a relaxed place to browse, chat and buy music and books.

Seven times snooker World Champion and green baize legend Stephen Hendry will be dropping by the shop on Wednesday October 25 when he will be signing copies of his autobiography Me and the Table at 12.30-1.30pm.
