Charlie Mullan and Garvan Cosgrove, musicians from Derry, operate Docklands Speed Shop Recording Studio and record label in Liverpool. They established the studio in 2018 in a former BMW garage on the Liverpool docks. The studio houses a 1978 Trident Series 80 console previously owned by Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin after its use at Trident Studios in London.

Mullan and Cosgrove pursued music in Liverpool during the 1990s and 2000s. They performed at the Zanzibar Club, owned by the late Tony Butler. Both credit Butler with supporting unsigned bands and influencing their studio and label.

Eugene McGuinness will release his album Eugene McGuinness Versus the Universe in April 2026 through Docklands Speed Shop and Mellowtone Records. McGuinness, whose parents come from Limavady, performs at Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin in Derry on March 28.

Mullan and Cosgrove selected Derry as the first stop on McGuinness's tour. Their band Big Ráth will support alongside Ego the Jackal. Tickets cost £13 or £40 with the LP.
