I found a fantastic shop for new sheet music whilst I was on holiday - it was only small but they crammed masses of music into it, and also a really good range of musical gifts and accessories. I can thoroughly recommend it if you're in the area - it's a bit out of town but well worth going to - Gillian Greig Music just outside Taunton. Has anyone else got any music shops they'd like to recommend people to visit if they're in the area??? (NB. If you have any recommendations for shops selling *second-hand* sheet music, there's a separate thread called Great Little Shops for Second-hand Sheet Music (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) --------------------------------- List updated to Post #93 and also includes shops mentioned on various other threads.
