More from the indie retail sector, and fifteen independent record stores, including London's Rough Trade and Sister Ray, Manchester's Piccadilly Records, Leeds' Jumbo Records and Avalance in Edinburgh, have formed the Coalition Of UK Indie Stores, which will fight for the interests of indie music retailers. And hurrah for that. The new body will be led by Avalance owner Kevin Buckle for its first three months, after which Rough Trade East manager Spence Hickman will do some leading. The group will officially launch on Record Store Day on 19 Apr, the previously reported day designed to promote indie record traders around the world.
