• Haven't you heard of the music station opposite the post office?

• uh....the music shop...opposite the post office....a really rah guy works there...yummah!
• I used to despise the old biddy in the music shop by the Pagoda Chinky. As soon as you walked in for a gaze at the shitty guitars they had & to pick up your Making Music before going to Arjay's for some new plec's, she be on you like a hidden tiger...i'm glad they closed!!
• ummmm, i think there is one, oppisite the wetherspoons.
• The Music station, opposite the post office, although the selection is very limited and you'd be better off travelling to Cranes in Cardiff. Instrument shops tend to go bankrupr within 6 months of opening in Bridgend
• Despite having a few musical instument shops the guys that own them must truly think there are no drummers in the town , drum skins , cymbal polish , an actual kit " Um sorry mate, no, we got a few odd sticks in that bucket down there " !!!
• FULL OF OLD MEN OR GOTHS!!!!
• that shop on dunraven place.
• Try the one opposite Cody's (I forget it's name). There you will find the most most clueless yet arrogant and pretentious assistants you will ever meet.
• Not the same since Graham went bust (don't know surname - he had a shop near Nolton Toys and Hobbies). He was never without a can of Spar pilsener but he had great commercial acumen. He swapped P J Peters a 100W amplifier for a train set in 1988. And it was a Lima set - not even Hornby!
• The Music Station. The shop has now relocated to Dunraven Place. The new premises are much larger enabling the store display and stock a much wider range of musical instruments at good prices. Keyboards,Guitars + Amplifiers & effects. PA-equipment. Loudspeakers and Karaoke. Their is also Karaoke equipment for hire for those special occassions. Call in to see to see the new premises, everyone has been really impressed.
• Therres a goood music shop in the street opposite the road at the bottom of the train station
• Nobody has the talent to play such objects
• nah... go to cardiff and check out cranes or gamlins.... the guy in Bridgend Music tends to try and rip you off and the sheet music range is so old you wont find much beyond the time of mozart in there,,,,,
• The Music Station, opposite the Public Library
• Peter in Arjay music is a top guy! Proper music shop.

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.

Have Your Say...

You can tell us more about Bridgend. This is also the method to use if you want to correct some of the information already here. (But please remember you're not mailing the person who actually wrote whatever-it-is.)

You can use the add an event form to tell us about events happening in Bridgend.

Or, if you'd just like to leave a message for other users of this site, take a look at The Knowhere Board (handy if you're just trying to get in touch with someone).
