The administrators of HMV, KPMG, have confirmed the Hereford branch is to close.

Canadian firm Sunrise Records has emerged as the buyer of the collapsed music chain.

The firm will buy 100 stores out of administration, securing 1,487 jobs.

But 27 stores will close, including the Hereford store, resulting in 455 redundancies.
