1168204	2011-01-08 21:18:00	Former IT guy from New Zealand with independent metal store in Nottingham, apologies if he is a Press F1 regular!! The Heavy Sounds (www.independent.co.uk) Location: West End Arcade, Nottingham Established: 2007 Owner: Clint Harris Speciality: Heavy rock When metal head Clint Harris moved to Britain from his home in New Zealand he knew he had to place himself in the recognised global capital of heavy rock. With a career in information technology behind him, he decided that he had spent enough time and money in record stores down the years to set up his own. "It was something I wanted to do for a long time," he explained. "The shop is very small and I suppose it's a bit of a ramshackle operation. "There is only one area that I have stock because that is all I know. I have a steady stream of regulars, they are very passionate about the music and they like to come in for a bit of a browse and a chat. "It's somewhere to go and a place where you can meet people." With a whopping 50 new heavy rock titles being released in the United Kingdom each and every month it is obviously vitally important for a shop like this to keep abreast of new releases. "When you go into a record store, you have a look around and occasionally you come across something you might well have forgotten about or something which you never even thought of. "If you are shopping on the internet you have to know what you are looking for. I suppose most of my customers grew up in the physical age. Most are in their late 20s and 30s but some are in their 70s," he said. Bestseller: Electric Wizard Web site seem to be down at time of writing (typical of an IT guy I guess) http://shop.theheavysounds.co.uk/	Twelvevolts (5457)
