HMV plans 10 stores

HMV has said it plans to put its faith in the UK high street by opening 10 more stores this year.

The boss of the entertainment retailer said it will seek to incorporate more live music into its stores as part of its investment into bricks and mortar sites.

The company, which opened its first store on Oxford Street in 1921, said Ed Sheeran will perform a centenary concert at the HMV Empire site in Coventry to 700 customers in August.
