  • INTER-SALES, PATRICK REED
  • go to corby 'rocky road shops '
  • PATRICK REED MUSIC... A JOKE! It's more like a kebab house and hang out for metal head hoodies with nothing else to do but take guitars from the walls of the shop and thrash them like they own them! Paddy is always either asleep or stinking the shop out by eating Fish and Chips or a kebab. His dad meanwhile seems to have a very apt name "Dick". The only guy there who actually seems to care anything about business is Mick in the drum section upstairs. Everyone else there just cannot be bothered! The shop is untidy to say the least. If you want to ask something be prepared to wait at least half an hour before anyone even notices you. Ask Dick a question more difficult than 1 + 1 and see how quicly he gets narked. Feel the bad vibes that seem to say "Customers are a pain and shall not be tolerated". The place seems to be a meeting place for the Patrick Clan. It's a great place to be entertained by a full scale row between Paddy and Dick. If you want to buy used, damaged instruments described as new at over inflated prices, and want to be served by ignorant, lazy people then I can't recommend Patrick Reed Music enough! If on the other hand you prefer decent service and at least the kowledge that your "New" purchase is in fact new (not been lent, borrowed, trialed or otherwise abused by one or several of Paddy's "crowd") then I'd go elsewhere! Where? Well, there just isn't a GOOD Music shop in Kettering! Intersales are OK but know nothing about the kit they sell 'cept keyboards). Make music in Trafalgar RD is probably your best bet for friendliness and service but unfortunatly they seem only to stock a couple of brands. And all of them are low end brands. No Gibson, Fender, Gretsch, Mesa etc., here I'm afraid. Go to Brum!
  • Patrick Reid - paddys is a great shop and learning place they specialist in Guitar "rock on" and drums - all round great shop
  • Music lessons are now available in Corby, @ Adrenaline alley skate park, This is run by Intersales Music. Call now on 07958052049 to enquire or book your slot. Or www.intersalesteaching.co.uk
  • Ive been having drum lessons @ Intersales Music in kettering, Very Good, Learnt alot now in band playing, couldn;t play when started there... They are opening a school in Corby if your interested guys, or visit them @ www.intersalesteaching.co.uk
  • Patrick Reed, Make Music and another I cant remember
  • Intersales Music do the best music lessons around, i have been having guitar lessons there for two years and have learnt so much and done several grades, fully recomend them.
  • Patrick Reed...hmmm used to be a JUNK SHOP...now sells guitars...think he got most of his stuff from the same place...plenty of 'nice replicas'...nuff said i'll be going elsewhere.
  • WOW INTERSALES MUSIC!!!! They have now got top end Ibanez in Stock!!!! Joe Satriani Signatures, Steve Vai Jems they just keep gettin better!!!! They will match most internet prices cant ask fairer than that can we?
  • Whats the new Make Music all about???? I thought they were suppose to improve it not destroy it!!!! A bit over priced for my liking, Paddy's still a mess, Intersales seem to want to help and their prices and extremely cheap, basically internet prices...
  • paddy reeds intersales
  • Patrick Reed - what sort of shop is this? Do they think they are the mutt's nuts - this is Kettering! Rude, arrogant, patronising. They (the Reed dynasty) sit around, more often than not eating takeaways that stink the place out and give off the distinct impression that customers are an irritation. Intersales: the guitar staff appear to be there to widdle with the stock rather than sell/assist. Haven't tried Making Music yet. Hope they are better than the other two.
  • Make Music, still terrible. Patrick Reid, old guys, expensive gear, but probably the best selection in Kettering. Intersales, great for beginner stuff, also hadnily just a stones throw from KFC.
  • Make Music, Intersales
  • POPPA DUKES SOUL FOOD (NEW SHOP SITUATED ON BONHAM COURT, IN THE PJS)
  • Intersales is by far the best shop in kettering, theyll price match anything & you can try theyre stuff out to:)
  • Intersales Music, now has a website that you can order off, ROCK ON Intersales You just keep getting better, you'll knock the others out soon.......
  • Has Alf Bailey's closed?
  • Make Music, near morrisons is great. And Intersales in town.
  • InterSales in Silver Street is the only place for all your musical instrument needs. Guitars, (Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, Washburn etc,etc) Amps (Marshall, Fender....), Pedals, Keyboards, Drums, Brass & Woodwind. Tutor and Song Books. If they haven't got it, they'll get it.
  • Umm Xscape Milton Keynes,(gone BUST!!!!!)definately Intersales Music in Kettering, great prices, will beat most prices on all products, also soon to be opening a Drum showroom on 2nd floor, this must be a good sign for Kettering, we have at last 1Descent Music Store Yippeeeeeeeee......
  • Just go to Xscape in Milton Keynes and go in the one there...it's wicked.
  • Paddy Reeds. One of the finest instrument shops in the county. Good deals and kno rip offs!! Making Music is rubbish. Crap gear, Crap attitude. only good for the over 70's
  • Best one is Patrick Reed, for drums anyway.
  • Intersales music is now the place to be, great selection of guitars, keyboards etc, a hell lot better than the other2, now they have ibanez, gibson, you name they've got it, go to intersales NOW
  • Patrick Reeds - Make Music just too straight faced for me.
  • Patrick Reeds, Make Music, urm both abit of a rip off but atleast its a start
  • Next to morrisons..
  • probably make music is the best place.
  • Paddy Reeds...another place on saturdays where kids hang out, they also let you try out the instrument in the practise room :)
  • Well, Paddy's (Patrick Reed's Music) has good amps, great guitars, lots of stuff, it's just a bit too cramped. Make music, the old guy is an arse, James is cool though. Make music for budget brands, Paddy's for expensive (and good) stuff...Intersales is up to you!
  • paddy reeds (Patrick reeds) for all future guitar stars, make music for everything else
  • There is onyl one place, that is Patrick Reed on Regent Street. Make music are extremely un-accomodating, And the other one In..... is really expensive. PR every time! At least you can have a go on their Guitars (unlike MM) >-(
