Wouldn't go anywhere else...

I've literally been going here since I was seven years old (quite a few years ago now 🙈). I've revisited many times over the years and have bought everything from keyboards, pianos and music books to speakers, mixing desks and mics, whether you're just starting out (the perfect place to go btw) or a consummate professional, I can't recommend Dave and the gang any higher. A very special place for me. 🙏🏻

First class !!!

I recently purchased a Boss pedal from Promonade Music. I was impressed with everything, the pedal was very well priced, the website was very easy to use, the pedal arrived in less than 24 hours, it was very well wrapped up and the instructions for the package to be only delivered if I was in very prominant to avoid those leaving things like this for all to see. Absolutely top notch !!!

Quick & efficient service

Quick & efficient service - I ordered a guitar online and it arrived well setup and on time. The pricing was also very competitive indeed, which was the icing on the cake.

What more do you want?!

I ordered an electric violin from their webshop and paid the full amount in advance. Afterward, I received an email saying they do not have th instrument in stock and that they couldn’t reach their supplier to discuss the details. I thanked them for the information, but then I got another email saying they would refund me and suggested I order the product directly from their supplier’s website, providing the link. (The supplier they couldn’t get in touch with.)
I pointed out that, since they are selling this product and I already paid in advance, it’s their responsibility to help resolve the issue. However, they completely ignored my concern. I’ve been waiting for my refund ever since, which could take 3-5-10 business days, but it’s been a frustrating experience. I’ve lost time and their customer service was not helpful at all, I don’t understand how it’s possible to pay upfront for a product that isn’t in stock.
I would have expected some kind of compensation for the inconvenience but I never received any further replies.
Do not order from them!

The person who allegedly wrote this review was not the name of the customer who ordered an electric violin from us. Their original enquiry on the 25th of February 2025 had asked for the violin to be shipped to Hungary and I told them that we only supply Bridge instruments here in the UK. The violin was also clearly listed on our website saying 'Check Stock' but an order was still placed (without checking). Furthermore, we use global payments to provide card and online payments, and the global payments portal showed that (1) the name the order was placed in, was not the name of the original enquirer; and (2) the 'AVS Postcode' that the bank has registered for the customer was 'Not Matched' ['AVS' is an Address Verification Service]. Therefore, my colleague Richard voided the transaction, returned the funds to whoever's card was used [which they have had a refund for], and suggested to go directly to Bridge Violins in this case.

Intimidated…

I purchased a fender about 18 months ago. Love it to bits. I've been playing for about 6 years. Still not very good but had a look in the shop today as I was looking for a Marshall valve amp. The lads were chatting about what songs they had been playing on stage over Christmas. Anyway ended up leaving without an amp feeling intimidated...

Dear Victor, Well done on your 6 years of playing and it's good to hear that you're loving your Fender. I'm sorry you left the shop "feeling intimidated" yesterday. I've always wanted Promenade Music to have the feeling of an extended home for musicians; and for it to be a safe place, at the heart of the music community, where colleagues, customers and the reps of suppliers are encouraged to chat about gear, gigs, recordings, venues, rehearsals, their learning, artistes, etc. As I said, I'm truly sorry you left "feeling intimidated" (it's the last thing I want) and the best of luck with your search for a new amp and your musical journey. If you want to discuss anything further, please don't hesitate to give me a call on 01524 410202. Best wishes, David

A superb music store.

I was recommended this supplier for a new keyboard. On phoning them they had the item in stock at the lowest price in the region. Staff were helpful, well-informed and friendly, offering advice on every aspect of my purchase. Inside the shop was a huge range of keyboards guitars and pretty much everything else. It was literally an Alladins cave for any musician. I had a little further to travel than to my usual supplier, but the whole experience was well worth it and I cannot speak highly enough of the customer experience. Well worth a visit, with a warning to guitarists, you will be drooling at the range of instruments on there.

None better

This is my second review of this shop. I don't think I can recall any other business where staff bend over backwards to give such first class service. I am always treated like one of the family! Great prices and huge stock of stunning instruments. Last night I got into a conversation about guitars with a total stranger. Promenade's name cropped up and his first comment was "what a friendly bunch !" Jim, Blackpool.

Delighted with my experience of purchasing a guitar on line

Purchased a guitar on line. Advertised as in stock and it was clear that it didn’t come with a case or bag. I got great communication at each stage of the purchase. Once processed it was posted quickly using a reputable carrier and arrived within 24 hrs. Perfect. On opening the box I found that the guitar was in a basic gig bag. On examination the guitar was great, clean, shiny and all that I could hope for. I am so delighted with the service start to end that I wanted to write this review. I haven’t been asked for a review it’s purely that I want to praise Promenade for a great service. So often these days there are problems and the supplier isn’t interested!! This experience was great. Many thanks to the folks at Promenade.

EKO guitar pre amp order

Dealt with Bob over the phone as I live in Kent .I needed a replacement pre amp for my EKO guitar and found Promenade music on line . Bob ordered the pre amp for me and posted it on as soon as he received it.
He kept me informed by e mail while waiting for it to come in. Great service and will keep details of this shop for future needs

Best Music Shop in Britain!

I cannot begin to express my appreciation for the staff at Promenade Music enough. I'm in a wheelchair and they made me feel like I wasn't. They provided ramps and opened rear doors and fetched things I couldn't reach so I could look at them and have a go. They're funny, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and the kindest most helpful staff I have experienced since becoming disabled.

Their stock is out of this world! It is a wonderland for musicians. They never pressure you into any sales and as a result you always feel confident in your purchases.

It's such a good place I'd recommend a dedicated trip to their shop just for an afternoon's entertainment.

If you live anywhere in the Northwest of England then go! The rest of the country should either use their extensive online shop or, better still, make the journey. You won't be disappointed.

Delighted with the quality and value for money of my purchase - a Levin acoustic guitar. And David was a wonderful person to do business with, incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and so friendly too. A great company and a credit to the local area to have such an excellent music business at its heart.

A very welcoming and friendly staff

A very welcoming and friendly staff. I was allowed plenty of time to try out a few instruments on my own. Well worth a visit and I will always call in when Im in the area. I think the registration card must have fallen out of the case for the guitar I purchased and it arrived in the post a few days later. Excellent service.
