Leeds Kirkgate Market trader being edged out by Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree and eBay

A bopping Leeds grandad and market trader, who just loves the sound of classic rock and roll, fancies himself a “lone ranger” as he contends with the “cut and thrust” of Leeds Kirkgate Market.

Andy, who’s from Roundhay, said: “It's getting more and more difficult to get stock, instead of releasing instruments into various charity shops etcetera. People are now going online with it all. I’m not interested in that. Andy certainly has the feel of a lone ranger, as he trades in his debonair tweed coat, Barbour flat cap, and paisley neck scarf and shuffles around in a pair of shiny mahogany brogues.“You set your own standards in life, if you’re a bit of a scruff then that’s what you’ll get to your stall,” said the grandad-of-one.
