Last Shop Standing is a 60-minute documentary due to be released in the summer 2012.

It will be a celebration of the unique spirit of comradeship and entrepreneurial ingenuity that has enabled so many record shops to keep operating successfully against a backdrop of massive changes in the music industry, the biggest recession in years, growth of online file sharing and the explosion of choice in music consumption.

Bright Phoebus ran a fundraiser to help finish the editing.  The show included performances by Fay Hield, Martin Simpson and Richard Hawley amongst a stella cast.  Excerpts of the gig will be included in the film.
