A new record shop and café that opened only four months ago is planning to host music events.

Spun, in Portland Road, Worthing, opened in November last year and has been "nicely welcomed" by the community.

Owners Danny Giles, 54, from Goring, and Rob Watson, 52, from Worthing, have said that despite only being open a few months, they have big plans for the future, including hosting events.

At the moment, the shop sells both new and preloved vinyl records, alongside sustainable clothing from Poetic Bisons and coffee from Roasted.

The shop also sells some pastries from Real Patisserie.

However, Danny and Rob have said that they are preparing for "phase two" of opening.

Their aim is to host early evening social events including quizzes and live music.

They also want to have "laid back" vinyl DJ socials and music-related talks.

Rob said: "Our aim is to make Spun a meeting place for the music and planet-loving people of Worthing and the surrounding areas.

"In our short time in Portland Road, we’ve been really nicely welcomed by local businesses and the general public. 

"Most excitingly, it feels like we’re building a fantastic community of people of all ages into all sorts of music.

The Argus:

"We wanted Spun to be a new kind of record shop that was welcoming to all with no music snobbery.

"We had a great Christmas thanks to the people of Worthing really getting behind us and supporting something vibrant & different in the town centre."

Rob said they want the business to "add culturally" to Worthing nightlife.

He said: "We have two Technics 1210 turntables set up permanently and have acoustically treated the hexagonal room to sound great for all types of music.

"We also recently acquired an upright piano for Spun which is attracting a lot of attention.

"Expect some Boogie-Woogie action at some point, as two incredible local players have already come out of the woodwork."

Currently, Spun is open from 10am to 5pm from Wednesday to Saturday, and on Monday and Sundays from 11am to 4pm.

The shop is closed on Tuesdays.

The business hopes to have an online presence by spring 2025.
