Jeanie Finlay's fantastic documentary film Sound It Out (trailer here) was a heartwarming ode to the Stockton shop of the same name, its proprietor Tom Butchart and its colourful cast of customers, as well as a love letter to independent record stores in general.
In the wake of Butchart's tragically premature death at the age of just 51, who better to pay tribute to her "bones-deep friend" than the filmmaker who brought his humanity and passion to wider attention? Quietus founder John Doran has also contributed to a piece on someone who was clearly "the social glue in a community focal point", and who, equally clearly, will be sorely missed.
