QYPE*

Being a beginner to the whole music scene, I was quite intimidated by the prospect of booking rehearsal space for lessons. However, the guys here are really laid back about…well, everything! and genuinely pleased to help out, and they go out of their way to make everything as easy as possible for you.

As well as having a whole range of equipment you can rent out, they also sell all the basics like sticks, clutches, earphones and the like on site, which is very useful if you get there and discover you’ve forgotten something! Their rates are very reasonable - you can book one of their smaller rooms for £6 p/h for one or two people, or £12 p/h for one of their band-sized rehearsal rooms.

They also have a full suite of custom-built editing equipment, and you can rent out their recording studio and sound engineer for £35 p/h once you feel you’ve had enough practice!
