Musicians and Music Fans

Every member of staff not only plays guitar but has music running through their veins. We’re music fans as much as musicians and there’s nothing more rewarding than helping fellow musicians, whatever their level, find the right gear.

As well as the core staff members, we are very lucky to have a team of enthusiastic, talented and intelligent staff who study full time and work with us at the weekend.
