Forwoods was established in 1946 in the cathedral city of Canterbury, and now operates as a specialist mail order business from a beautiful Old Kent Barn on a farm just outside Dover. Stephen Yarrow has been with the business since 1986, and now runs it with his wife Sue and his son Joe. In 2012, Forwoods acquired the retail operation of Goodmusic Publishing (Tewkesbury), and ScoreStore of Arborfi

eld, Berkshire, which marked a major investment in our printed music business and a sign of our confidence in the continued growth of the market. To this was added Gillian Greig Music of Taunton in 2015 and St. We retain the ‘family business’ outlook although we are one of the leading suppliers of printed music and accessories in the UK, and we are determined that the service we provide will be the very best it can be. If you have any comments at all about your experience of dealing with Forwoods ScoreStore we want to know. If there any changes or improvements we can make, email us and let us know. Stephen graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in 1986, joined Forwoods as a stop gap and has been here ever since, buying the business in 1993. He immediately identified the growth potential of the mail order printed music business, as so many towns have lost their ‘traditional music shop’. A vigorous campaign of advertising and exhibitions has seen the profile of the business increase considerably to the point where we are now one of the undisputed market leaders.

Our Story

Forwoods was established in 1946 in the cathedral city of Canterbury, and now operates as a specialist mail order business from a beautiful Old Kent Barn on a farm just outside Dover. The Directors, Stephen and Susan Yarrow, have over 50 years' combined experience in music retail, and now run the business with their son Joe, who is Sales Manager.

Joe joined the business in 2012, since when Forwoods has expanded enormously, acquiring the retail operations of Goodmusic (Tewkesbury), ScoreStore (Arborfield, Berkshire), Gillian Greig (Taunton) and most recently certain assets of Music Dynamics Ltd. Taken together, these developments represent a major investment in our printed music business and a sign of our confidence in the continued growth of the market.

We retain the "family business" outlook although we are among the leading suppliers of printed music and accessories in the UK, and we are determined that the service we provide will be the very best it can be. If you have any comments at all about your experience of dealing with Forwoods Music Ltd, we want to know. If there are any changes or improvements we can make, email us and let me know.
