    Default Music Shop

    I heard from one of the employees that the Music Shop in Wick is closing. Passed it myself last night and it has a closing down sale notice in the window.

    Musical instrument also cost a lot of money so i suppose most will go further south if they are planning a new instrument. Still its a pity to see another local shop closing.

    Sadly you can buy loads of things cheaper online, but when possible I try to buy locally.It would be better to keep the town center busy, if possible.

    How many death nails does it take to shut Wick's coffin? Another shop bites the dust. It gets worse, sadly.

    Haven't been to Wick for yonks. Is the Music Shop still down the little lane near the old police station car park.
    If so, does anyone remember (late 1950's early 60's) a big St Bernard dog that used to frequent that area? It used to happily lie down in the middle of the lane and would move for anybody or anything, cars would have to drive carefully around the big beast.
    I agree it is a shame it has to close but this is "progress" and the technology you are reading this on, is partly to blame.

    no it's on the front page of the courier- caithness is to lose its 2 long established music shops.owner james sutherland said that the premises in wick and thurso will cease trading with in a matter of weeks once a stock clearance sale is complete.

    I can't believe it. Another slice of peoples' memories consigned to the dustbin. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Caithness is a cultural Chernobyl.

    Cool

    Shame to see another of our wee town`s shoppies closing, Closing down sale means Knockdown giveaway prices for the cd`s ye`ve always wanted but never got round to buying them as something else more important came up-community tax of course . Shame but true folks, the vultures are gathering=Me.

    When was that? Jack Shearer was there in 1960.
