    This is another one of those essentials in Leeds. I can say this mostly as I play guitar and need a…read moreregular supply of strings, but the guys that run this joint are just lovely. I once went down to pass on a poster for a live music event. They hadn't yet opened so I leant against the wall for a quick cigarette and the owner/manager/staff member came out to join me. We had an excellent little conversation about Leeds, music and Call Lane, before I handed the poster to him and got on my way. I guess that's it really. I could tell you about the range of sheet music, instrument strings, folk instruments, CDs and so on that they store, but essentially - if you're going to visit at all, it has to be for the celtic/folk nature of the shop - and if that's what you are looking for, at least you know it comes with lovely conversation and down to earth presence.

    As a music student, the large amount of folk bands being created has come to my attention flared by…read morethe rise of pop-folk acts such as Fleet Foxes. More and more folk acts are performing around Leeds, and with musicians as colleagues, Hobgoblin Music has been mentioned positively to me many a time!! The shop is oddly located on trendy wine bar strip Call Lane tucked right away! However after a little search I found it and had a sneaky peek around to see what people rave about! Hobgoblin is a specialist shop which stocks Folk and Celtic instruments (including harps, whistles, fiddles, mandolins and banjos's), sheet music, Cd's and books. The shops range of Folk musical instruments is huge for such a tiny secret cave of musical treats! I had a natter to the boheminiam, long haired staff who were very friendly and helpful! There is an extremely laid back atmosphere in the shop stereotypical of Folk Music. I understand this will only apply to a minority of "Yelpers", however if you are in Leeds and have an interest in Folk music go in and have a look around. It really is a pretty and dainty display of Folk music history!

    As music shops go in Leeds, Call Lane is generally considered the Mac Daddy street to go and…read morebrowse. But, this of course is hugely biased towards the guitar playing musicians of Leeds. To the lay person a music shop is a music shop is a music shop. To a saxophonist, not so. There is little, if next to nothing, in Northern Guitars for example. Or Music Ground, really, for that matter. Enter: Band Supplies. This lovely little music shop is run by a very kindly and friendly gentleman and it specifically caters towards brass and woodwind instruments. There are hoards of different reeds, specialist items, sheet musics and generally all related materials that one might need for, say, their trumpeting. Generally, as it goes, any questions you may have related to brass and woodwind instruments can be answered here also. They do sell a few stringed instrument items, although not being their specialist bits, there is not a lot to choose from. Typically, before a gig at the Adelphi, I needed some guitar strings and my band mate needed a new bow for his violin. Happily enough the chap managed to sort us both out with our items, though neither were the best we could have found. He even warned us that the bow was a bit of a cheap item and certainly not of the best quality, but we needed it nonetheless and it was really good of him to let us know! It did it's job, just fine, and so all's well that ends well. Since the shop doesn't really cater for stringed instruments it was simply nice to know we could come here again if at a loss! All in all, this is another fine music shop to browse in Leeds, with a helpful and friendly owner/manager.
