We have moved to Dumfries!
In October 2022 we moved the business from Hovingham near York to Dumfries in Scotland. We love Dumfries & Galloway and have been visiting for over twenty years. We’re delighted to have found an amazing location for our office at The Crichton in Dumfries. The facilities on site include a concert hall, hotel, recording studio and a magnificent grade two listed church – complete with a Harrison & Harrison organ. What more could we want!
Our postal address has changed, but the service we provide hasn’t. Our website, email and phone number has remained the same. We hope you will all continue to support us, and we look forward to welcoming visitors in the months and years ahead.
Our roots are firmly in York, and we will miss our Yorkshire friends and colleagues, but we are looking forward to this new chapter in Scotland!
And while we’re on the subject of York …
Many of you will be aware of the sad news that Banks Musicroom in Lendal, York is closing along with other Musicroom shops owned by Hal Leonard. There has always been a certain amount of confusion when it comes to us and the shop and we are aware that some people think that we are closing. We can assure you that we are not. Our move to Dumfries has been very positive for the business and we are steadily recovering after the damage done by the pandemic.
Please spread the word!
