FANS packed into Witney’s only independent record store to catch up and coming Oxford band Little Fish before their Reading Festival appearance next week.

The group popped into Rapture, in the Woolgate Centre, on Monday to launch their latest album Baffled and Beat, on the day it was released on Island Records.

Singer-songwriter Juju and drummer Neil Greenaway performed tracks from the album before signing copies for fans.

Gary Smith, owner of Rapture, called Little Fish “Oxford’s most exciting band of the moment”.

He said: “It’s a real coup for us as they will be headlining the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading and Leeds this year. It’s a real treat for the fans to be able to see the band in such an intimate setting, then buy their album and get it signed all on the day of release.”

In April, fans of Scouting for Girls packed into the shop to hear the band play their number one single This Ain’t A Love Song in their acoustic set.
