We have moved!

UPDATE 15/08/2025:

We are in! Every guitar, amp, plectrum and string have been transported to our new home in Treforest Industrial Estate. Our job now is to get it looking like a shop you'd be proud to call your local (maybe favourite?) music store. 

We are here for click & collect, sending out online orders and hopefully before long, having a nice space for appointments. If there's anything you need, let us know via email or phone.

UPDATE 12/07/2025:

We certainly dragged it out didn't we? It hasn't been intentional, we promise you. The process has not been without its' challenges, but the best things in life are worth working hard for and we're now in a position to announce our new location.

By the end of August 2025, A Strings' new home will be:

The Barn,
Heol Crochendy
Treforest Industrial Estate
CF37 5UR

And here's a picture of it...

We've got a tonne of work to do over the forthcoming couple of months, and we've already started in earnest. 

Our last day of trading in Broadway will be Saturday 2nd August 2025. At which point, click & collect and online orders will be processed normally, but shop visits will be appointment only until approximately Friday 22nd August 2025. This date may move either way by a few days, depending on how we're doing! We'll be keeping you all updated on our Facebook and YouTube Friday Live broadcasts and on Facebook/Instagram/TikTok posts, so keep your eyes peeled.

There'll be plenty more details to come, so please keep checking back. If you have any specific questions in the meantime, please get in touch.

Yep, after nearly 12 wonderful years at 66 Broadway, the time has come for us to relocate.

Over the last few years, thanks to your support we've increased our stock offering to include far more brands and product categories. We've now reached the point where we've exceeded the capacity of our current premises, and it's affecting the day-to-day running of A Strings. Parking has also become an issue, delivery drivers are having to double park and thanks to our weather being mainly bwrw glaw, you - our beautiful customers - are often damp by the time you've reached the shop.

We've found a new home for A Strings, and it is beautiful.

We're not revealing the location just yet as we're still in the acquisition phase and we absolutely don't want to tempt fate.

If everything goes according to plan, what we CAN say is:

• It's not too far away from where we are currently
• We will still be very much accessible by public transport
• There is dedicated customer parking (YES!!!)
• We will have considerably more room
• We will be in and trading by mid-Summer 2025
• I WILL go grey by the end of this year

It is important that we let you all know that this is (hopefully) happening as 'For Lease' signs will appear on the front of the shop within the next few weeks. We want you all to know that this move is of our own motivation. 

Once everything is signed and sealed, YOU will be the very first to know. We will give you regular updates on the usual social channels. In particular, keep an eye out for the weekly 'Fear's Friday Update' on Facebook at 5pm and the 'Week at A Strings' series on all the channels, for progress updates, announcements, etc. 

Once we're in and settled, naturally there will be an opening-party. More of that in due course...

This is a huge leap of faith for us, but it is driven by us wanting A Strings to be the very best version of what it can be, for you. So we'll take you on the journey with us, share with you the progress as it's happening, ask for your advice (fully expecting Boaty McBoatface-esque answers) and of course invite you to come in and say goodbye to Broadway, and hello to...

More on that in a couple of months. 

Thank you, as ever.

Andrew.
