It was only this sad event that made me realise that Pickup was the family name.
I had always vaguely assumed that the shop name was an allusion to record players and radios that they might sell and, completely unconnected, that Johnny Pickup was a fairly suitable nickname.
I've had a few dealings in the shop, although not so much in recent years - always extremely helpful.
Johnny Pickup.
I heard last week that Johnny had died..... it seems to have come from a reliable source, can anyone confirm please ? He wasn't in The Yard for the Vinyl Sleeves gig last night (great gig again boys!) as he usually is which kind of supports the rumour.
