Was down there yesterday with Emz but didn't see you either. Good to see it so busy. Hope that keeps up.

I was about somewhere;could have been out on my lunch though ! It's going ok so far;no new stock as yet while they finish auditing our warehouse but that should soon change. think we are gonna be trading under our old name for a while yet though.

Will you still be stocking music related books?

We haven't had books in for ages;the literate consumers in our town just didn't buy 'em! Fopp do however stock lots of books and I reckon we will stock them again.

It's true ! We have been bought by the chain "Fopp". They have bought around 60 of the stores and I finally got my keys back today ! A courier had to come and find me at Asda ! We will be back instore tomorrow to do a stocktake;hopefully reopen Wednesday. The store will look very empty for a while as a lot of the stock has to go back to the suppliers as they are now creditors of Music Zone but hopefully we will get stocked up again soon. Fopp are well known for round pound prices and are not much dearer than MZ were, they tend to stock a more eclectic range with world music and classical,more "arty" dvds and also books.
We are all very relieved and excited about this,all the team bar one will be back .(unless I can persuade Andrew that we are more fun than Barclays !)
Get in !!!

I think its ace fopp have bought the chain of shops...now I dont know what changes if any they are going to do to the shop down here but in glasgow fopp is a cracking shop for buying the more obscure music and those hard to find classics...I have been buying stuff from fopp in glasgow since early 90's...and I was really please they bought the chain down here...fopp have came such a long way since the little market stall in the middle of glasgow that they used to have...I will be keeping an eye on what they do down here....

heres some info on them

Well I got The Best of Aretha Franklin for the bargain price of £2.99 this afternoon. An album I've wanted to replace from vinyl for ages.

Service wasn't bad either, the cracked CD case was even replaced, unasked for.:D

Thanks Linsay.:)

I saw music zone was open & to back step just to make sure i wasn't imagining it :eek: that was such a good sight to see [i need to catch up on this thread now LOL] Hope all staff got their positions back, Lyndsay? well done nice to see that:D

Cheers Big G ! Hope you enjoy Aretha !:D

See, this is when I miss the edit button, when those glaring mistakes jump out at you!

Thanks Lindsay, not Linsay, which makes you sound a bit too much like Jaysay's daughter!:D

Yup we are all back in employment,with more holidays and better wages too ! And Big G was so chuffed with his cd he failed to notice that I have the most heinous bust lip in the world,ever ! ! ( a small domestic accident that would only make you all laugh so I won't go into it further! )

Oh fantastic news Lindsay - brilliant!! :D:D:D

Will say hi when i bob in:D
