Working In The Rhythm Record Shop
A Memory of Redhill.
Hello everybody!
I am Graham Cross - I used to work in the record shop 'RHYTHM Agencies' of Redhill (1961- 68, I started at 16 yrs old) as a musical instrument repairer and l also served in the radio & TV department whilst helping out in the downstairs Record part, more towards the end of the decade. I was the tall one, dark brown hair - towards the end I had a gingery beard - and sometimes played the Hammond Organ in the window of TVs and guitars. I had a friend who worked round the corner in Currys who was an organist/keyboard player...Roy Lynes who went on to be the keyboards in the STATUS QUO!!!! I used to go to the Market Hall every Saturday to see bands ...the Who...Hollies...Herman's Hermits and TWINKLE!!
I now live in Scotland and am just coming up to 62!!...IS THERE ANYONE THERE???!!
Yours, Graham.

I started as a Sat lad in records with Malcom &.....??
Then moved up to audio with Pete R. & Pat.
On weekday school holidays upstairs but records dept on Saturdays, until I was selling quantities upstairs..
Got pulled out of my A levels (at Redstone) to manage the 3 shopwidth upstairs at Reigate before hitting the London scene.
Very fond memories of Rhythms.
If you're still with us, and able to type (haha) drop me a mail asap

I would have chewed my arm off to do that, couldn't sing or play a note but loved rock music - Bowie, Zep, Genesis etc. I worked with David Acres, who was like a fun older brother to me, and a few times sold Pablo jazz cassettes to a scruffy-looking Andre Previn. And I got all the latest LPs on release at a discount! Probably still the best job I ever had.
