Our History!
Gough & Davy was established as a Piano retailer in 1850 and soon became a market leader in providing the latest musical instruments and music at the time.
The business flourished all through the Victorian era and on into the 20th. century.During the next hundred years the name Gough & Davy became synonymous with music lovers, not only in Hull but the whole country.
In 2007, the company was relocated to new premises 'Under the City Hall' and is now owned and managed by Hull's own Alan Kilvington, who first joined Goughs as a sales assistant in 1995, and Robert Dearing, whose association started with G & D in the transport of our piano range.
Al ‘Kilvo’ Kilvington is an Americana piano player from Hull, who plays with a style and verve described as that of the Killer - Jerry Lee Lewis - himself. Al has years of gig performance experience and is happiest in front of piano and microphone currently playing in his 'Two Pianos' theatre show.
