Well gang, it’s one of those good news / bad news kinda situations I’m afraid....

The good news is we just signed a new 5 year lease on our building so we can all keeping rocking together for many a moon yet!

The bad news is that rent only ever goes up… and although we’ve done our best to absorb the ever increasing price of everything and keep our prices as low as possible in a post covid world, this time we have no choice but to share the increases with you all.

So from Monday 2nd of September these will be our new prices. It’s nothing drastic, only an extra 50p per hour each for rehearsals if you’re in a 4 piece band, so hopefully won’t stop any of you being able to rock out!
