Many of us have dropped off our unwanted stuff at charity shops wondering if any of it will ever find a home.

Old vinyl records are in abundance in charity shops and they're not always, if ever, signed copies of Sergeant Pepper.

However, that doesn't matter to Andy Jupp.

Andy says: "What I really like doing is finding those albums that nobody else wants to listen to. Bagpipes, brass bands... that sort of stuff."

Andy explains the value in recycling the music:

"The best thing about old stuff is reusing it. The lovely thing about vinyl is the point where you put the needle on the record and you start hearing it again.

"I play the records in the shops themselves and then take them out to old people's homes, museums and hold gigs with the old music."

In an age where a city can house the same shops throughout the country, Andy believes charity shops add colour and uniqueness to the high street. He says:

"I love charity shops. I think they play a vital part in our communities. They're great fun... If you go in the charity shops there's random stuff, unexpected things."
