Big SparraVinyl

Big Sparra Vinyl trades from New Bridge Street in Ayr town centre, stocking new and secondhand vinyl LPs and 45s alongside CDs, cassettes and music-themed t-shirts. Staff will search out and order in specific titles for customers rather than limiting the shop to whatever is already on the racks, and the counter carries a mix of mainstream reissues and harder-to-find independent pressings. On Sunday afternoons the shop hosts free in-store sessions with local musicians playing among the record racks, a fixture that draws in regulars beyond casual passers-by. Turntables and accessories are sold alongside the records themselves. The shop is one of the few dedicated record shops left on this stretch of the Ayrshire coast, run over the counter rather than chiefly online.
