Concept Music - established 1980

After 45 years in business at Concept Music, Graham has decided it's time to retire and close the Cambridge Street store.

“I'm immensely proud of what Concept Music has become since its humble beginnings on Murray Street back in 1980. It's been incredible to meet, employ, and be part of the journey of so many Perth and even international musicians... and it's been such a privilege.”

Stay tuned... & thanks for the memories!

Est. 1980

First opening its doors in 1980, Concept Music built itself into a cornerstone of Western Australia’s musical community. From its humble beginnings in West Perth to its well-loved home in Wembley, the store has been defined by its unwavering commitment to honest advice, exceptional service, and quality instruments.

Four Amazing Decades

For over four decades, it welcomed everyone from first-time players to seasoned professionals - fostering a space where musicians gather, connect, and grow. Its legacy is one of integrity, expertise, and enduring musical spirit.

You can find us at Mannys, West Leederville

Concept has now been integrated into the Mannys Music West Leederville location. We look forward to welcoming you there to experience an expanded range and great local service. With over 20,000 products on offer, our Loftus Street location is currently under construction to further expand our range to include band & orchestral instruments and acoustic drums.

At Mannys

At Mannys Music, it's not just about the gear - it's about helping people make music. Our team of musicians is here to offer honest advice, hands-on support, and a space where everyone feels welcome, no matter their experience level. From first instruments to studio builds, Mannys is proud to be part of your journey and the wider music community we all belong to.

If you have any unused Gift Vouchers, rest assured - they are still valid and can be redeemed at any Manny’s or Store DJ location. This means you now have an even wider range of options when deciding how to use them, with access to an expanded selection of gear, instruments, and accessories across both stores.

Some parting words from Graham

Reflecting on the friendships I've made, I also feel incredibly honoured to have played a part in the beginning of so many musical journeys — thousands, in fact. Watching people grow through music has been one of the great joys of my life. These days, the greatest pleasure comes when customers who first came in as kids now bring in their own children, proudly saying, “I bought my first guitar off Graham back in the 1980s when the shop was in Murray Street!”

It's a little surreal to realise that many of my customers — and, for that matter, most of my staff — weren't even born when I opened the store. To them, Concept has always just been there.

Yes, I will miss many, many aspects of the shop — but maybe now I'll finally find time to dust my old trombone (if I can find it!) or even learn to play the guitar... something people STILL don't believe when I tell them I don't!

Thank you, and congratulations also to the new owners at Manny's. I'll be hanging out there for at least the next six months and will be doing everything I can to help you all settle in. I can't wait to show you the new premises when it's completed!

Graham
