One good thing about Turnkey ...Happy new year Ken.<br /><br />One good thing about Turnkey being shut is that I didn't take the job there they offered me just after I came out of rehab, well it's a mixed blessing. They were part of the same group as the store in the basement of the old Zavvi store (shit that's gone as well!) and all folded about a year back sadly right at the hight of the credit crunch.<br /><br />I'll listen to the demo when not on the company restricted web...<br /><br />Like you I use online a lot now, stringdirect are just brilliant in terms of speed and price I think. I still do try to use local shops like mid air music in Chatham so that they don't die but I always feel a bit shamefaced to be saying "What's the best price on that SM58?" ... "Oh just I can get it at £95 on line" They reply about overheads of a shop etc, which might be fair but it is still the pound in my pocket isn't it?Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277883507595966283.post-15725544699881188482010-01-05T17:15:04.805+00:002010-01-05T17:15:04.805+00:00Turnkey closed ages ago and so did Sound Control (...Turnkey closed ages ago and so did Sound Control (large premises in basement of Tottenham Court Road's Virgin Megastore).<br />For years, Denmark Street staff were a bunch of patronising shitbags to their " customers" so perhaps this recession has been a form of divine retribution. However, the staff in Wunjo guitars are most pleasant and hopefully they'll be the ones leading by example for all the other outlets.<br />Rant over.<br />Happy New Year.Istvanskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300986800641512516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277883507595966283.post-7470601847318012202010-01-05T16:52:30.747+00:002010-01-05T16:52:30.747+00:00S'alright...

I'll just hop a flight to the States and buy a US jobbie then grey import it :-)<br /><br />I don't know what the solution is to halting the decline of 'real shops', though Denmark Street (as a whole) has gone online itself, so maybe it's just that 'real' shops need to have an online presence.<br /><br />It's a changing world... not always for the better, eh?Ken Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970490152285414561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277883507595966283.post-65549410838806528992010-01-05T16:01:05.386+00:002010-01-05T16:01:05.386+00:00Happy New Year buddy!
