Truck Store in Cowley Road has been celebrating its 10th anniversary and over the years there have been lots of in store performances to entertain customers who love to visit to buy vinyl and CDs.
Some top acts have played on a very small stage to a packed store, including Stornoway, The Staves, Michael Kiwanuka and Dave Gedge of The Wedding Present.

"Back in 2015 the band released their 3rd album the same week as Record Store Day so obviously it became Record Stornoway Day! We also nearly killed Oli with a falling bicycle, oops!"
Another said: "We were so excited to host the absolute superstar @michaelkiwanuka on our tiny little stage back in 2016. Such a nice guy, incredible talent and surefire Truck Hall of Famer!"

It added: "With so many artists gracing our stage we couldn’t possibly feature everyone we’d like to but we extend a huge thanks to everyone who has played, promoted or attended any of our events! Let’s hope it’s not too long until the next one!"
Truck has also organised a number of gigs outside the store including one at the Ashmolean Museum.

The store said: "This was one of the stranger events we’ve put on... here’s @theaugustlist and @salvationbill playing in the baroque room of the Ashmolean!
"Main memory of this event was watching in fear how close Ollie T’s guitar was getting to a priceless statue!"
Truck Store's stay on Cowley Road has coincided with the resurgence of vinyl record sales and the annual celebration of vinyl with Record Store Day.
