Beloved Dublin music shop McCullough Pigott will soon close its doors for good after 200 years in business.
The shop started out as Pigott on Grafton Street back in 1823 and was one of the principal music stores in the city. In the 1960's, the store merged with Denis McCullough, a trained luthier and piano tuner from Belfast and became McCullough Pigott.
Today, the store is owned by sheet music publisher Hal Leonard and is based on South William Street, run by a small team of music professionals. Hal Leonard announced last week that they will be shutting the Dublin store, as well as UK shops owned by them in Edinburgh, Exeter, Lincoln, Salisbury, Stratford and York.
