Tallbird Records, based on Soresby Street, has become a hub for music fans and musicians in the area since its launch in 2013- and hopes to further its success with the Tallbird record label.
Owner Maria Harris says a loyal customer base, personable service and a generous loyalty card scheme is what has kept the indie thriving in a digital age- and she now hopes to give something back by investing in the town’s undiscovered artists.

Maria said: “We’re proud of the town and keen to promote artists from Chesterfield and the surrounding area who’d like to advertise under our banner.
“We continue to bring great music to Chesterfield in a variety of ways. We stock both second-hand records and new releases, participate in national events like Record Store Day and often put on live music.
“In the past we’ve had bands like Reverend and the Makers and The Cribs.
