Rough justice?

Is it arrogant of Stephen Godfroy, Rough Trade's director and co-owner, to think that in opening a new store in Nottingham - the first UK shop outside London - they can succeed where the mighty Selectadisc (amongst others) ultimately failed? Possibly. But I'll go on record (if you'll excuse the pun) to wish them well - it's a great city, and one I'm led to believe that is experiencing something of a boom in terms of the local music scene, so fingers crossed they can pick up where Selectadisc left off. I'll certainly be paying a visit next time I'm in the East Midlands.
