One of the country’s few remaining music outlets will close in Wicklow this coming weekend.

"Track one" on the main street in Wicklow town is set to follow in the footsteps of many small businesses and operate on the internet.

Owner Sean Olahan says several factors have led to the decision to close his shop, including the way people access music, which more or less has seen an end to CD and DVD sales as well the decline in footfall in the town.

He says after 40 years trading on the main street, he is now moving to on-line.
