Quicksilver Music

In these days of big companies like HMV and Zavvi (or whatever it’s called these days) dominating the music retail business, as well as the rise of downloading music (whether legal or illegal), it’s easy to forget the charm of independent local music shops like Quicksilver Music.
Hidden down Market Street, Quicksilver is a small but appealing shop that sells a modest but varied selection of CDs and vinyl, both of which are split quite helpfully and comprehensively into different genres and artists. You do still have to search through them a bit for a few hidden gems, but that’s all part of the fun.
As well as selling music, Quicksilver also sells a small selection of electric, acoustic and bass guitars as well as a few amps. None of them are particularly expensive models (most are at the cheaper end of the spectrum) but some models there have been discontinued so would be considered quite rare. The selection may be quite small but there is quite a variation and if you’re looking for a more original choice for a basic guitar then there are some bargains on offer there.
Quicksilver Music might not be for more commercial music fans but if small independent music stores with a bit of character appeal to you, then it’s definitely a place to check out and support.
