Shop Update!

We may have underestimated how much there was to do...

The painting is done. We've started construction on all the new cabinetry. It's all coming together slowly.

We're working into the evening, but the sheer amount of stuff to do means we'll have to stay closed for another week.

We hope to be operational again on Monday 25th.

Thanks everybody for your support and understanding ❤️

We are moving!

So, we'll be closed from July 4 to July 17.

This is very exciting for us - we get to start fresh in a new shop with better organisation and a bit of a different aesthetic.

The new shop is just over the road, so we're still practically in the same location.

This photo is the current site. We'll try to upload photos here as we make progress on the new build...

We're purging. Does anybody want this artwork? 5x acrylic on canvas. No money neccesary but we'll take beer / some sort of delicious slice as payment

Lovely old Besson & Co Prototype Eb Cornet. Customer wanted it polished and playable

Hi all. We'll be closed Saturday June 4 and Monday June 6 for Queen's Birthday weekend.
