We are a family business which was opened by Peter Driscoll in 1977 at 55 Elm Road - hence the reason it was called Fives.We had to move to new premises on the Broadway about 18 months later because it took off and we desperately needed more space. Peter has run the company ever since with the help of daughters Julie, Tracy, Cheryl and Sandra. Today even the grand children Danielle, Kyle and Sarah have worked in the shops. Soon after, a second branch was set up in Rayleigh which Sandra (Peter's daughter), fresh out of school, was running. It thrived for 25 years before closing in September 2007 with the owner Peter going into semi-retirement.
In October 2007 we celebrated our 30th year and Mcfly popped in for a special CD signing session, before heading to the Cliffs Pavilion, Westcliff, for their much anticipated concert.
We used to have a lot of bands come in and do signings. We've had Billy Bragg, Donny Osmond and Snowy White down here and more recently the Horrors and even a mini concert by the Rumble Strips in front of the counter."
With 20,000+ titles on CD and vinyl packed into the shelves, there's not much the shop doesn't have and if we don't have it and if it is still available we will order it for you, most ordered items can be got within a week or so.
You can phone and speak to a real person about any particular item that you are interested in.
We have access to many large databases and can find quite obscure items or fill in the webmail form on our contact page and we will get an answer to you in very short time.
All major credit cards are accepted and we are happy to post to anywhere in the world.
