Skiddle and Piccadilly Records team up for Record Store Day livestream

Record Store Day 2025 is almost upon us - the nationwide celebration of all things vinyl that brings a coveted selection of limited-edition releases to record stores up and down the country who are keeping the spirit of music discovery alive. 

If you ask us, there's no better place to soak it all in than at Manchester’s legendary Piccadilly Records. And that definitely isn't because, this year, Skiddle will be on site all day, bringing you a full live stream straight from the shop floor.

A cornerstone of the city’s music scene since the late ‘70s, Piccadilly Records has been drawing in crate diggers for generations. But on RSD, it becomes a full-blown pilgrimage - with queues often stretching around the block from the early hours. If you're heading down, get there early. But don’t worry - the DJs will be there supplying the soundtrack, and Skiddle the live coverage, all to to keep the energy high and the wait worthwhile.

We’ll be livestreaming from 12pm to 5:30pm, featuring DJ sets from some of Manchester’s finest selectors and chatting to the vinyl lovers who make this day what it is.

Here’s the lineup:

12:00 - 13:00 - Camilla Reghenzi

An Italian who now calls Mancunia home, expect groove-laced deep cuts and global rhythms from this versatile digger and DJ.

13:00 - 14:00 - Léna C

French-born, Manchester-based, Lena C is a DJ, producer and radio regular known for fearless blends and genre-defying selections. Basically, she'll be making the store global groove central for an hour. 

14:00 - 15:00 - Ellen Beth-Abdi

Soulful, slick, and a Mancunian through and through, Ellen Beth Abdi has not only supported The Stone Roses at Wembley but also toured with New Order as their synth and BV player - need we say more?

15:00 - 16:00 - Joey T

A local lad with a disco, house and funk catalogue that flows flawlessly from behind the decks. Joey T is a seasoned crowd-pleaser and a regular at Luke Una’s É Soul Cultura - which is the only accolade we need to hear. 

16:00 - 17:00 - Deb Grant (BBC 6Music)

6 Music's own brings her signature touch of eclectic, crate-dug gems. Committed digger and dancefloor filler, Deb's set is going to be a special one

17:00 - 18:00 - Wu Lyf DJs

Closing the day with an unpredictable selection from members of one of Manchester's coolest underground bands, who have just announced their long-awaited return...
