Another one bites the dust: JG Windows, Newcastle
Very sad to hear that JG Windows the big music store in Newcastle upon Tyne has closed down.
They sold absolutely everything from records to hifi and musical instruments.
A part of north east history just died.

I spent many an hour (and fortune) in that fantastic shop (in an even more fantastic location) So sad to hear that it is no more.

Damn, loved searching their stock back in the 80s, downstairs rock collection was best. Was there just last year too (live a bit away now), on ground floor but still a good selection, will miss that arcade storeNewton_John wrote: Fri Nov 29, 2024 1:54 pm Very sad to hear that JG Windows the big music store in Newcastle upon Tyne has closed down.

Sad too for the remaining 17 staff who are being made redundant in the run in to Christmas.
In happier times, the surviving members of the original Lindisfarne busking outside the store in Central Arcade.
