We have a massive team of people that have expertise in all aspects of music.... if you want advice from REAL muso's that are actually HAPPY to help then Billy Hyde Music Adelaide is the place to come.
Founded in 1962 by our namesake Billy Hyde, Billy Hyde Music has established itself as the foremost retailer of music products throughout Australia.
A young Billy Hyde began his long drumming career during the depression of the early 1930's. He would cart his drums in all weathers on the tram and train, to gigs. He'd play the show then get his drums and himself home the same way. All for the princely sum of 5 Shillings! (50 cents).
An enormously talented and natural drummer, Billy quickly became Australia's "first call" drummer. Symphony Orchestras, Radio and Television shows, recording sessions and many major international artists all benefited from Billy's musicality and enthusiasm.
Billy was known for continually developing new ideas. During the 1950's, he put together the world's first tube steel practice kit and during the 1960's designed and started manufacturing the Billy Hyde Moulded Practice Pad that's played the world over today.
In recent times, the Billy Hyde name has been applied to a great range of products from drumsticks to carry bags and more.
Moving into the new millennium, the Billy Hyde Music Group (BHMG) is continuing to expand its chain of family stores as well as the recent inclusion of new franchisee stores to the Billy Hyde Family. While there has been recent rapid growth of the group, the core underlying retail philosophies that have contributed to the sustained success still apply today.
The welcome inclusion of new franchisee stores to the group is evidence of a continued commitment to deliver value products and professionalism to our customers in more locations. The role of the new franchisees is an integral part of the development and success of the BHMG. Franchisees bring with them new found vigour, specialised service and unique business experience to an already successful family of stores. There should be no differentiation between family stores and franchisee stores in the eyes of the customer. We are one family.
The BHMG has a commitment and dedication to the growth and support of all stores under the Billy Hyde umbrella. We believe the only way to survive and prosper in an ever-changing market place is to combine a passion for music, with years of retail experience, moving forward with strong corporate values, whilst maintaining grass roots and cultural appeal.

After 5 years together our Bass player Langley has decided to leave the band to pursue other interests. So we are searching for a another bass player.Black Knight play approx 50 shows a year. Some of our influences are Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Clash, The Beatles, Dallas Crane & many, many more. We are a featured artist on Nova, received airplay in the US, toured Kangaroo Island with Carclew and supported many big named acts. We have gigs booked and need a bass player now!! Possible interstate tour next year for the right person. This would suit someone who is studying at uni/tafe or working part time/casual.
