• nah, ruislip
• for all your dj equip. sunrise electronics in hayes town
• in the arcade, oposite royales.and 'make music' shud be moving there soon too.
• Try Harrow for Herga Music, Unicorn Music and Harrow Music Centre. Nothing to speak of in Uxbridge.
• i think the make music place that shut down in hayes is movin' to uxbridge. dont kow when, dont know where
• one in the arcade
• There is one down the new arcade opposite nando's thats right we have a nando's now everyone wants to come right! But down the uxbridge road not far from shakespeare avenue in hayes there is a better one many a time i have asked to try out there best bass and sat for a long time!!
• The Music Shack. It can be found in a lesser known part of Uxbridge called the 'New Arcade'. Opposite the Music Shack is a fine cafe where you can get a MUG (yes mug) of tea and any persuasion of breakfast/lunch food...the best value you'll find in Uxbridge and also the place you're likely to find the music shack staff hiding from you as you bang vainly on the door. But yes, the music shack is handy for getting plectrums and guitars amongst other exciting musical peripherals.
• The Music shack in The Arcade
• there one in the new arcade but i cant remeber what its called it opposite the newsagent which by the way their price pon their ribena is a rite rip off
• i think theres one in the arcade
• Music Shack - down the arcade. Good for strings and not a lot else. Run by the seediest looking geezer I've ever met. There's a good classified ad board too.
• Guitars and stuff in he New Arcade on the high st, down the road from the Civic Centre- cant vouch for quality of service, but its therre.
• Come on, MUSIC SHACK
• Music Shack in the authentic seventies New Arcade does guitars and stuff
• The only decent musical instrument shop, Dawkes, moved down to Taplow about 3 years ago - bus to West Drayton and Thames Train to Taplow. There is another on the Uxbridge Road at Hayes, nr Woolworths. Mostly keyboards but a token selection of wind and strings. Sells sheet music though but lost of compilation keyboard stuff - like rags, country, old pop favourites. Why would you not get on the underground to Piccadilly and Shaftesbury Avenue or Chappels at Bond Street?
• Theres a guitar shop in the New Arcade on the High St nr the Civic Centre. (It's owned by cool Dave, who, since he's been in love has had his hair cut and wears a pinny.)

Recording Studios, Rehearsal Rooms, PA Hire

• nearest one? ruff rockers studio on the highstreet in yeiwsley, if u follow the road that kuickfit is on...ul find it in an industrial estate.
• Ok, new rehearsal studio in uxbridge. it's on the trimite industrual estate off cowley mill road. It's been purpose built and it's cheap compared to a lot of other places. The staff are musicians, so they know what they're talking about and there's a really friendly atmosphere
• fountains mill by fitness first. brilliant
• Not great area for it mainly the studio at the mill! Fountain's mill youth centre that is you can hire studio for free usually and they are doing it up at the moment so it should get better - we can only hope
• Yuck, uxbridge is not known for it's great music studios...quite the opposite in fact - there are none really. The studios there are are actually scattered about the adjoining towns like West Drayton, Cowley and Hayes etc. They can all be reached by bus but my advice would be to just open the phone book and find survival in Acton...much better, yeah, better.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
