The History of Dawsons
Dawsons Music is one of the longest serving music retailers in the U.K., established in 1899 in Warrington in the North West of England. Over many successful years of trading Dawsons has changed many times, in order to reflect the buying trends of the day.
The time of biggest change was in 1979 when the Dawsons family sold the company, and the new owners set about changing the way the business was structured.
Of all the multiple outlet chains in the U.K., Dawsons has one unique advantage, we sell all things musical, to all type of musicians. Most music retailers in the U.K. have become more specialised in their approach, however our vision is to be the most efficient, pro-active and customer focussed organisation in the industry.

Dawsons Reading

Formed in November of 2005 Dawsons quickly establised its self as the prime mover and shaker in the Reading/Berkshire area. With it's subtle blend of soulfull Jazz, earthy Blues and kick ass Rock all woven around an intricate Orchestration of Strings, Brass and Keys. Crisply layered into Recording heaven...

And all this from one cavernous music store.

What else can we say, come along for the ride, it's bumpy but fun!! Oh yes we are the finest Music store in the country, and part of the famous DAWSONS music empire.

We thank you...

Coombeshead Studios





Dec 20 2007 5:49 AM

Coombeshead Studios are now looking to take on 2008 recording slots. If you are in a band and need a professional recording, we offer sessions at just £12.50 an hour on weekdays and £20 an hour on weekends. All this paid time can be spent recording - mixing and editing can be done afterwards at no extra charge. If you wish to arrange a session, please message us and we will give you a list of available dates. Check out our top friends for examples of the recording quality, and the ’music’ section to see who we have worked with!

We also offer CD duplication at between 75p and £1.50 per CD for most requirements. This gets you a case, a print directly onto the CD face (no stickers!) and inlays. Contact us with your requirements for a quote. Recordings do not have to be made at Coombeshead to qualify for this offer - if you already have recordings let us know and we can provide duplication for you!

We would like to thank all the bands who supported Coombeshead Studios during 2007. It was our busiest year ever at just short of 100 bands, and allowed us to spend several thousand pounds on some major upgrades, launching us from a low budget studio to a fully professional setup. We continue to offer our low budget prices but offer a greater flexibility of control and greatly improved quality!
