Cardiff's is to move to a new premises for the first time in 60 years.

Said to be the oldest record shop in the world, Spillers will for a final time this Saturday before moving to new premises elsewhere in the city.

Spillers was opened by Henry Spiller in Queen's Arcade in 1894, selling music on wax cylinders and shellac discs. In the late 1940s it moved to its current location at 36 The Hayes, where it became something of a Mecca for many south Wales music lovers.

Famous customers have included Manic Street Preachers, Cerys Matthews, Super Furry Animals and The Zutons. Signatories of a 2007 petition to keep the shop open in the face of rising city centre rents included Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake.

Owner Nick Todd is said to be discussing a move to either the Royal or Morgan Arcade with landlords Helical Bar.
