Hi and welcome to Richer Sounds Newcastle!
The store is located on Clayton Street opposite the new Carling Academy music venue. We are only five minutes from Central Station and are easily accessible by car. The myth that the city centre is difficult to get into because of the Eldon Square re-development simply isn't true, come and see for yourself, but please do ring for directions if you're unsure. There are many metered parking bays behind the store around Charlotte Square, and larger car parks very close by (see map above). There is even a loading bay right outside the store to make picking up your purchase as easy as possible.
With over forty years of service with Richer Sounds (that's between us, not each!!), our help and advice is second to none. With a mixture of HD geeks, home cinema geeks and two-channel geeks, there will always be someone here with the answers to your questions. We are the High Definition, home cinema and hi-fi experts with over thirty flat screens on display, as well as fully wired HD, home cinema, hi-fi and 'multi-room' demonstration facilities for you to use (including a brand new demo room).
Dale is the leader of our Newcastle store and has been a valuable part of the Richer Sounds family for over a decade now! Of course, being the manager, he has the best Hi-fi in the store (or he claims to); Dale knows a thing or two about good quality Hi-fi and is always more then happy to share his knowledge with our customers. Charming and endearing, turn to the man who runs the show for experienced advice on all your home entertainment needs.
Ian just loves his home entertainment kit! Whether it’s his media centre, home cinema package or his separate hi-fi just for his old rock vinyl! Ian will make sure you know all the options available to you and will happily point you in the right direction towards making that all important decision! Friendly, impartial and always willing to get the extra mile, you can count on our deputy manager to make sure you leave the store smiling.
Cheeky-chappy Pete has been with us for over 10 years now and there is nothing he won’t do to make our customers happy! A jack of all trades, you can count on Pete to give you the best up-to-the-minute advice on all your home entertainment needs – whether its a TV for the bedroom or a hi-fi for the shed, you can rely on Pete to help you through your purchase with a huge grin – and he makes a great cup of tea as well.
Our resident DJ and general lover of all things from the 80’s is Colin! With over 15 years of retail experience behind him, Colin has seen it all - He tells us he used to buy 2nd hand hi-fi when he was on the streets of Nottingham as a 10 year old – and now he’s still going strong! No task is to big or small, so come down to Clayton Street and check our outstanding offers – as well as Colin’s charming smile!

He got the time, patience and knowledge to cater to you’re exact needs..... And don’t forget to ask for a ‘Craigy special’.
Our not quite human stockroom controller is Paul aka 'THE BEAST'. Paul doesn't have a national insurance number, we actually found him in a skip, searching for some speaker cable to clean his teeth with! We invited him in to stay and carry 50 inch plasmas out to customers' cars a while ago - and guess what - he's still here doing it now! Strong as an Ox, quick as a cheetah and daft as a brush, Paul is an essential part of the Richer Sounds Newcastle Team!
