After opening Vinyl Resting Place on the third floor of the iconic Manchester shopping emporium in 2014, Alistair has steadily built up a rapport and musical connections with many different customers and luminaries in the local music scene. As well as focusing on commercially unknown music committed to vinyl, the show will also feature guests, selected local music of the week and also feature anecdotes of weekly encounters in the shop. After assembling an enormous five-figure record collection over the past quarter of a century, Alistair wants to share his findings with those willing to open their ears to music criminally under-the-radar, and let people discover their new favourite song.

Join Tony ‘The Greek’ Michaelides as he takes us on a musical journey with some great stories about some great people spread out over some great years! Add in some great music along with some great people talking about it... and let’s make radio great again!

If mainstream radio leaves you feeling like a badger trapped in a disco, then this is your sanctuary. We're talking indie folk that's more campfire sing along than pretentious coffee shop strumming, acoustic chills that'll send shivers down your spine without resorting to elevator music, and a sprinkle of country twang to remind you there's still a little yeehaw left in the world. So, ditch the chart-topping trash and tune in to the Ripman Show – it's the antidote to the musical mayhem plaguing the airwaves. Just don't blame him if you find yourself spontaneously sprouting a beard and yearning for a simpler time.
