It is a bit off the beaten track, nowhere near the main shopping centre in Crawley. Matt works there and he says that it is always a bit of a sleepy day there. Whereas the new Brighton shop is very central and is busy all the time on the days when he is working in Brighton.

I think that the Crawley shop was kept as a bit of sentiment because that is where Hobgoblin started out. A huge proportion of their trade including nearly all the strings, capos other accessories are now handled on-line from their Worthing warehouse.

Previous managers include Nigel Chippindale and Steve Turner.
