Today is Save Your Hearing day and we are reminded that the volume at some concerts can leave your ears ringing for days afterwards.
There is a solution though. There are ear plugs available that lover the volume whilst keeping the integrity of the music. They’re also a good idea for musicians who don’t wear in-ears.
The Old Dairy will be closed for the Jubilee Bank Holiday. Orders will not be dealt with during this time nor queries answered so please, if you have any, ensure you contact us before close of business on Wednesday.
We are happy to open during this time for instrument try outs. If you’d like to come in, please book your appointment before we close for the long weekend – thank you.
This is a very sobering piece of research; especially given our electric and heating bills have recently doubled and fuel is almost £2/litre.
Traditional retailers are paying 755% more in business rates than their digital competitors, according to new analysis.
Real estate advisory firm Altus Group says that for every £100 earned by most retailers in Great Britain (excluding non-store sales and fuel) £2.91 is owed to local councils in business rates.
For large online-only retailers, however, total business rates per £100 in sales are just 34p.
In addition to this, we have to ensure we are not being undercut by these online retailers for things like pickups, strings, and other accessories such as Spring and nail kits, or even our giftware which means our margins are cut to the bone.
