Exciting News from Rod Pooley MusicRod Pooley Music have sent this press release:-
EXCITING MUCH LARGER SHOWROOM COMING SOON!
Our 1st Anniversary from opening trading at 14 Westgate, Grantham, NG31 6LT will be this March. A massive thank you from Rhohima and Rod goes to everyone who has supported us in our first successful year of trading.
Our musical journey together began, as you know, in our small shop in Westgate, Grantham, where we have slowly but surely curated the most desirable brands available to us in this initial trading period.
We will be continuing normal business hours at our current location at 14 Westgate, Grantham, NG31 6LT, until Thursday 26th April 2026 where normal hours 9.30am to 4.30pm shall operate on that last day.
We will then be closed for a week from Friday 27th April to Friday 1st of May 2026 to allow us enough time to get the Exciting NEW much improved showroom ready at Unit 9, The George Shopping Centre, High Street, Grantham, NG31 6LH. Our online store will remain open during this week of closure.

Our New Showroom's Grand Opening Day will be on Saturday 2nd May 2026 from 9am till 5pm.
We invite all of our lovely customers, family and friends to join us for our very special new and exciting venture where we will be announcing many new products and features.
Following a period since the old operators had allowed the 'maps' facility to disappear, we are delighted our IT team have managed to bring it back, so if you now go to the Clubs, Dealer of Service Engineer pages, you have the option to see them all on a map, to quickly know which are near you, or perhaps where there may be a concert taking place when you are on holiday.
Do bear in mind that some of the Service Engineers cover a big area, and some cover the whole country, Allen Organs for example.

Oscar Battle is the Young Theatre Organist of the Year 2025The Wurlitzer Heritage Trust staged this year's UK Young Theatre Organist of the Year Competition at the Musical Museum in Brentford on Sunday 3rd August.
Everyone agreed that the standard of playing from the young entrants was very high this year, often showing maturity far greater than their years.
The three judges, all distinguished theatre organists, David Ivory (Chairman), Byron Jones BEM and Andy Quin, took quite a while in deliberation but, in the end, made the unanimous decision that this year's winner is 15 year old Oscar Battle from Norwich.
Since winning, Oscar has already featured in a concert with Michael Wooldridge and been featured in a lovely feature on BBC TV's Look East and in a lovely feature, which you can enjoy at: BBC Article BBC Article (opens in new tab)
Oscar has already secured bookings to appear in concerts at the Woking Wurlitzer, the Rye Wurlitzer, the Worthing Wurlitzer and the Studio Standaart, with many more to come for this wonderful but modest young man.
Congratulations Oscar!
