Oxfam shop in Nantwich - bird book donation

The Oxfam shop in Nantwich is one of just 21 in the UK chosen to sell an exclusive vinyl by Tim Burgess, lead singer of The Charlatans.

The vinyl is a collaboration between Burgess and best-selling author Ian Rankin.

“A Little Bit of Powder” is a short story that Rankin wrote for Burgess’ record label O Genesis.

And now they have released a limited edition 12” release available only at 21 Oxfam shops – including Nantwich’s store on Pepper Street.

The record, which costs £9.99, features actor Craig Parkinson reading Rankin’s short story with theme music by Burgess and Factory Floor’s Nik Void.

There is also a version of the theme with vocals by Burgess and Void on the B side.

Rankin and Burgess decided they wanted others to benefit from the release and chose Oxfam.

Val Richards, volunteer manager at Oxfam Nantwich, said: “Oxfam Nantwich is one of only 21 Oxfam Shops chosen to receive this record as we have done so well in the past selling music.”

A limited run of only 500 records will be in the stores, and will not be available online.

The Nantwich shop will be open on each Sunday in December.
