Staff ask for ‘colourful clothing’ to be worn at funeral of late boss

Mourners have been told to “wear something colourful” to remember the life of Alastair “Breeks” Brodie, pictured.

The owner of Groucho’s, on Dundee’s Nethergate, passed away last week after 43 years selling records in the city.

Tributes have been pouring in for the legendary shop owner all week.

Staff at Groucho’s announced Mr Brodie’s funeral will take place at Dundee Crematorium on Tuesday at 12.30pm.

Mourners have been instructed to wear “something colourful” instead of traditional black clothing.

Posting to Facebook, staff wrote: “All of us here at Groucho’s would like to take a moment this morning to extend an enormous thank you for the overwhelming response to the sad news of the passing of our long time boss and friend Alastair “Breeks” Brodie.

“It’s been a funny old week in here to say the least but it has been made easier by the visits and messages from our loyal customers, the people we still see day in and day out and those who don’t get a chance to get in so often nowadays, we really do appreciate you.

“The boss man has left some very big shoes to fill but we will continue to do our best to bring you the kind of second-hand record experience Dundee deserves, and which Alastair has delivered since day one.

“Funeral arrangements have been made for Tuesday August 13, 12.30pm at the Dundee Crematorium.

“Anyone who knew Breeks or has been a customer is more than welcome to attend and pay their respects.

“The shop will be closed on this day.”
