Good Luck Nick & Bob

Rushworth's music store in Liverpool, known to most Beatles fans as the place where the Beatles bought their Gibson guitars, is to finally close it's doors after 170 years trading in the city. David Rushworth announced that he has had some financial difficulties and had decided to put the company into voluntary liquidation. This was a blow to the staff especially clarinet expert Nick Grantham and saxophonist Bob Whittaker. Only a few days after their redundancy they were planning to open their own business. The outlet specialising in woodwind and brass instruments will be based at Curly's music shop on Ranelagh Street and will be called Curly's Woodwind. The St Anne Street based pipe organ business Rushworth & Draper, run by Alastair David's brother, is not affected by the closure of the shop.
