A group of football fans are hoping for a "Christmas miracle" to save a beloved music shop from closure.

JG Windows music store in Newcastle's Central Arcade has been permanently closed and the company is expected to go into liquidation on 12 December.

A group of Newcastle United fans has launched a fundraiser, hoping to raise the £500,000 needed to save it in a drive to "support the city and businesses".

Artists including Lindisfarne, Kathryn Tickell and the Pet Shop Boys have voiced their sadness at the planned closure of the historic store, which opened in 1908.
