old business closings..triggers me @Al
I don't think a drum shop has to be in central London, it only makes it harder to survive, and probably pushes their prices up.
I went to Foote's when it was in Golden Square, I didn't usually find much that I wanted and the prices were a little upper end.
I guess most drum shops sell 80-90% online.
Looks like Nick Mason was involved in the last move of location. He's probably got as much disposable cash as Ringo.
Lots of more mainstream retail are moving out of the city centres, where rents are super high. Drum shops don't need to be in the West End of London. My favourite drum shop was Pro Percussion in Kentish Town.
Energy prices are currently exorbitantly high in the UK and will unfortunately finish many a business this winter.Ringo should buy the building and sell it to them for one pound. I assume the price of rent is what’s keeping them from being able to keep the storefront open.
