Volunteers

Volunteers was at the other end of town, run by Steve who lived with his family above the shop. Equally insane times were spent in Volunteers perusing the huge catalogues and ordering anything that looked interesting.   Both Steve and Fiona were young old hippies and to me, an ex punk with a head full of something, they opened the doors to the sheer amount of music that was out there if you just went looking for it. And their shops both provided a refuge and sometimes a lifesaver from the chaos of the world.
