Andy Kershaw… take 2
The BBC have been at our little shop recording again.. for another cameo appearance on Radio 3, travels with Andy Kershaw, reminiscing over his vast collection of music and interviews made on his Sony Walkman pro over 20 years in the 80s and 90s.
We chat with Andy, explaining the popularity of the resurgence of interest in the cassette… brought on mostly due to lockdown , when many were brought out of the attics and cupboards around the nation..
Heres the link to the programme… which went out on the 2nd May 2021..

Now Stocking: Rega
Time for the Wednesday quiz. Which new brand has Wilkinson’s HiFi just taken on? If you aren’t too sure, there’s a clue in the photo.
If you guessed Rega: Correct answer! You are a winner. No prize unfortunately, we’ve just paid for all the kit so are a bit skint, but we have got some lovely brochures in store if you’d like one.
We now stock a wide range of Rega items, starting from the PL1 turntable at £249.99 all the way up to the Aethos amplifier at £2999.99, so there’s sure to be something that piques your interest!
BBC Radio 3 x Wilkinson’s HiFi
The BBC & Andy Kershaw have been recording in our little shop. It is for a 2 part series replaying recovered interviews & impromptu music performances he recorded onto cassette in the 80’s & 90’s. Andy travelled the world interviewing the many music legends & recording them on his Sony Walkman Pro.
We were able to repair his trusty battered Walkman for him, despite the years of use and plenty of Saharan sand. It’s been fantastic hearing those unscripted interviews with such greats from Willie Nelson through to Warren Zevon.
Our segment leads off his programme, discussing the Sony Walkman and how it changed the face of journalism. Being of broadcast quality, yet so small, It allowed him to travel the world & record interviews and music concerts without lugging a suitcase full of equipment. It’s microphone was great for capturing both voices & instruments, no matter what the room they were in and being so small kept the performers relaxed as if they were just playing for Andy
The shows went out on Radio 3, Sunday 20th & 27th September @ 7:00pm, where you heard Andy’s wonderful northern accent…& our Andrews not so gravelly one!
