ubassman Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Bit of an indulgent post but I am going to be spending a day in Bradford soon. Are there any DB shops in area worth a look see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oggiesnr Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 If you're in Bradford and have a slightly wider interest in things musical then Salts Mill (Saltaire) and the Early Music Shop are a must. I have spent many hours (and some dosh) in there. Very understanding and knowledgeable staff who don't mind you trying stuff out. The building itself, the Hockney exhibition, the esoteric bookshop are also worth the visit. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'm afraid that most of the music shops around Bradford have closed down in the past few years (like a lot of things), let alone anything to do with DB. As mentioned above, Salts Mill and the Early Music Centre (in the same complex) are worth a visit if you like that sort of thing and there is a great boozer called Fannys just up the hill from there if you fancy a cheeky pint afterwards...!

Mr Bassman Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 If you're in Bradford on Sunday eve you'd be welcome to sit in at my gig at City Vaults It'd be great to meet you and have a chat over a pint of yorkshire ale :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubassman Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Great thanks guys - early music centre sounds interesting as long as I dont come away with GAS for a Flugehorn! Keith that would have been great but I'm there this thursday ( daughter is in a production of Aida at St George's Hall and we have a lot of time to kill between rehearsal and show!).
