My Interests

I'd like to meet:

REHEARSAL INFORMATION

We've spent a great deal of time and effort making sure that you'll get an authentic sound, free from many of the distracting reflections and distortions common in other rehearsal rooms.

We offer a comprehensive backline including Marshall, Trace Elliot, Fender, Hughes & Kettner, Ashdown and Peavey amps. Shure and AKG mics, a selection fantastic Mapex drum kits, cymbals, leads and studio furniture and a couple of pairs of Technics SL1210 decks mean that in short, you get everything you’d ever need to make your rehearsal kick. We can also offer stereo CD recording through our desks.

Studio 1 designed primarily for pre-tour/pre-production use. It doubles as an exciting venue for showcases and launch parties. It is an 80+ square metre space designed primarily for pre-tour/pre-production use and has a small stage area and dedicated sound/lighting booth. It’s centrepiece is our 4k PA based on a 24 track Soundcraft desk which, it is universally accepted, kicks botty. Standard kit - 24 channel Soundcraft Sprit Live mixing desk. Drawmer compressor. Lexicon reverb. Mapex Pro-M drum kit with 3 toms (matching Mapex snare available) ,Trace Elliot 300w bass combo, Marshall and Fender amps. Carlsbro wedge monitors x 2. Carlsbro 600w sub-bass speakers.

Studio 2 (the one with the black drapes) comes equipped with a 16 channel 600w Sprit Powerstation desk (with built in reverb) and a powered sub-bass unit, a Mapex Pro-M kit with 3 toms (matching Mapex snare available), Ashdown bass amp and guitar amps by Hughes & Kettner and Vox. Studios 2, 3 and 4 are (minimum) 25 square metre ventilated spaces lovingly constructed from traditional breeze block, topped off with a triple-skinned plasterboard ceiling covered in a thick layer of kiln-dried sand.
