Brittens Music store in West Byfleet is a great local music shop and probably one of the best in…read morethe Woking/Byfleet areas. It's a large store which stocks instruments, accessories, sheet music and CDs. Half of the store is dedicated to classical instruments and the second-half to keyboards and guitars. The store will stock most basic instruments for immediate sale. They will order other instruments in, but, if you're looking for something better than stock you'd be better going somewhere where you can try before you order. The store offers a hire and buy scheme for those just starting out and who are unsure whether they will want to purchase an instrument. A repair service is offered which will be good enough for most school grade instruments. Most of the music for the common exam syllabi is stocked although you'll find less for the higher grades. Staff are generally knowledgeable although they tend to be jack of all (instruments) rather than specialists. Music lessons for keyboard and guitar are available in store and come recommended. Lists of tutors are available for other instruments.

I took my guitar to this shop in March for a standard setup. I also asked them to clean a crackly…read morevolume pot and apply a bit of glue to a small cosmetic crack on the headstock. They charged me £110 in total (£50 for the setup, £10 for strings, £25 for the glue, and £25 to clean the pot). I didn't question the price at the time -- even though it seemed steep -- because I trusted they'd do a good job. Unfortunately, that trust was completely misplaced. They originally told me the guitar would be ready in three days. It ended up taking three weeks. I was told the delay was because "glue takes ages to settle," which seemed odd. During that time, I had to go to the shop in person multiple times because they don't answer the phone, and every visit came with a new excuse. When I finally got the guitar back, the strings were buzzing badly. I returned it immediately. They made a quick adjustment and said it was because "the new strings need time to settle" -- something I've never heard from any other tech. The problem persisted, so I brought it back again. This time, they said the bridge was bent and needed to be replaced. I ordered a new bridge myself and brought the guitar back for them to install it. They offered to do the swap free of charge -- fair enough -- but it took another month to get my guitar back. Again, I had to chase them repeatedly, with little to no communication from their side. I only got through once by phone and expressed how frustrated I was. They promised to sort it properly. When I eventually got the guitar back, I was told it was fixed -- but the same issues were still there. At that point, they told me the guitar actually needed a full refret. Funny enough, when I first brought it in, they said nothing like that was necessary. To top it off, when I came to collect the guitar for the final time, no one even acknowledged me. One of the brothers just handed it over without a word or apology -- genuinely unfriendly and unprofessional. This is the worst setup job I've ever had -- and this guitar has had plenty of work done over the years without problems. I'm now taking it to a proper luthier to fix the mess they left behind. I would strongly advise avoiding this shop if you care about your instrument and your time.

They were nice and happy and the overall vibe of the store was nice. plus since it was raining when I went in it was nice and warm. Their prices where reasonable.

I also saw an Electric Guitar for only £95 (average price is £200-£300) so all-around a very nice store :)

The studios are spacious and well equipped however even though spacious does get a tad warm in the room. They have a large mix base with all these knobs and buttons everywhere don't know what most of them done but looked impressive and was great watching the mixers at work. The experience with Richard and Fred of Right Said Fred will be one I will never forget. Near the end of the day of busy recording we had a tour around the rest of the building and it was great to see Queen's (Freddie Mercurys) piano that he used to take everywhere with him at these studios in a big hall area I even got to tinkle the keys of the great black piano. Sounded beautiful even though I don't know how to play. Also saw the room where Queen used to hang out and many other artists and other studios in which famous musicians have sung. However the studios can be hired out so its not always the rich and famous that use them. I highly recommend to anyone that is thinking of doing a recording. Facts: Metropolis Studios is one of the few remaining recording studios in London. Famous musicians such as Queen, Michael Jackson, Right Said Fred, Adele etc have sung in these studios. But before this place was a studio it was a Power House and was also used in the classic TV program "On the Busses"

What an awesome venue! The Albany reminds me of a mini-Roundhouse. Very intimate, great feel, close proximity to the performers and a really solid place to go. The sound was impressive and it felt very intimate. My biggest issue was around the whole bar situation. As the place holds 300+ people, there was a Sold Out concert, you would think they would properly staff the bar. Nope. Two staff members who also possessed the ability to be inhumanly slow. Solution was just to order two rounds at a time. Regardless, this is somewhere I would definitely come back to as I really enjoyed the experience here.
