HMV's rich heritage spans nearly a century with the grand opening of our first store in London in 1921 which was attended by Sir Edward Elgar. Since that time we have made music and entertainment available to our customers in every format imaginable from sheet music to vinyl LPs to CDs and digital downloads. We hold frequent instore events around the UK with artists ranging from Gary Barlow to Sir Paul McCartney to Steve Coogan. At HMV we have always been passionate about music and film and are very proud of the fact many of our store and head office colleagues have progressed to senior management roles.
