Pigott merged with McCullough’s shortly after the Grafton Street fire, but the company went into voluntary liquidation in 1993. It was acquired by music publisher Hal Leonard.Hal Leonard Europe has now called time on 200 years of history by closing the shop along with six retail stores in the UK.
On its Facebook page, staff posted: “It is with deep regret that we inform you, on Monday 20th February, Musicroom/Hal Leonard Europe announced their plans to restructure their Musicroom consumer business in the UK and Ireland. In a statement, Hal Leonard said it was moving its sheet music business towards e-commerce. UK and Germany managing director Tom Venvell said “sales and profitability have been impacted by challenging market conditions. With costs continuing to rise, we need to make these changes”.
The McCullough Pigott sheet music shop will certainly close but there is still a possibility that the instrument shop, which is attached to it, may be saved as it is a joint venture with Joe Lynch.
Nooooo. That’s dreadful news. Super shop and staff super helpful and lovely. You can beat browsing through scores in a rack or on a shelf.
