Hi- Not posted for a while, been busy. Just a reminder that the shop will be closed on the 2 Easter bank holidays but also on the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th April as we are off to the big music trade show in Frankfurt! We are all very excited!  Have a great Easter everyone

Big thanks to Esme for her great help in taking down the Valentines display whilst her sister was having her lesson.  She was super quick and then was a dab hand with a duster!  Great Job Esme! and THANK YOU!

Love is in the air at Red Lion Music with the new Valentines display shop window!  Cupid  (in his Ukulele form) is aiding the love of the guitar for all!!

We enjoy using our instruments for displays, and I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for their very kind words about our Christmas Nativity. If you missed it- photos are in the gallery.

The staff at Red Lion Music are very excited!! We are all going to Frankfurt in April to the very, very large music trade show!  We are going to be looking for new products and suppliers to ensure we are giving our best to our customers!  It should be a great show! As a result we will be closed for a long weekend in April.  But we will be back!!

I saw David Bowie in his Glass Spider tour during the late 80’s.  He was an amazing performer, the show was fantastic and he gave 100%.  His music has given such pleasure to so many over the years.  Through his music he will live forever and be remembered. RIP

Beethoven Google Doodle this morning is fab!  If you are on Crome you can help Beethoven put his music together after a series of disasters!  Very clever.  Well done Google for recognizing and supporting musicians from all the era’s!

We have some great music themed gifts at Red Lion Music Shop this year!  Everything from Money boxes shaped as guitars or pianos, Clocks, coasters, crackers with mini bell ringing sets! Composer shaped rubber ducks!  Mugs, aprons (to hot to Handel).. great gifts for the musical person in your life!!

Exams are not for everyone,  but if pupils want to take music exams, then pupils can take the exams!  Several took exams this week so that was great!!  Now to wait for the results to come in.  It is the best feeling to have pupils who begin with you not knowing how to hold the instrument (or in the case of the piano how to sit at the piano)- and before you know it they are taking a grade exam. You suddenly become aware of  how far they have come!  It a fantastic feeling!
