Dockside Studios

28/11/2022

Hi all you lovely Peeps. As many of you know, we've had a 400% rise in our electricity bill this year.
To keep going, we have had to raise the room prices from £8per hr to £10per hr from Dec 1st 2022.
Gear hire and storage will stay as it was and so will our discounted rate Mon to Friday.

It's our first price increase in 17yrs, we hope you understand.

Love from the Dockside Gang :-) ###

Hello Bristol, we hope you are all staying safe and well. During this lockdown I've decided to do some work on the studio (Jobs that are hard to do when we are open seven days a week) I'm in the process off giving the customer toilet a sparkling new makeover! When this is all over, the studio will be ready to welcome all you creatives back to do what you do best, make music. So until then, in the words of Jerry Springer "Take care of yourselves...and each other" Lots of love Ellie ###

Hello folks in music land. We all make mistakes from time to time, so if you're the person who "accidentally" walked off with our £100 new Mapex drum stool, we would appreciate you returning it to us. (That will save me going through the CCTV for a mug shot!) Peace ###

29/05/2018

So the sun is shining and Bristol is buzzing. You could fight your way to a crowded bar and pay too much for your drink, sit by the water side listening to bad buskers and screaming children......or you could pick up some cold beers from the local shops, come down here, book a room and play something you actually like!....Just saying ;-) ###

02/05/2017

Hello you lovely people. Well we've got a few bank holidays out the way and everything is back to normal.
Get rid of those post holiday blues by coming down and playing some tunes.
Every day is a holiday at Dockside Studios :-).
It would be lovely to see y'all. ###

27/01/2017

Hello you lovely people. We will be going against the grain this weekend and opening on Saturday evening. So if you feel like getting out of the cold and making some noise, why not come down. It would be great to see you all.
Peace and love from the Dockside Gang. ###

31/12/2016

Here's wishing all our customers a very Happy New Year and thanks for your continuing support. We love you all!
Remember…A world without music is like a broken pencil……Pointless.
Peace and love.
Ellie and Steve ###

Well here it is! August bank holiday.
What to do?? Do you go away for a short break (very short when you take off the time you spend sat in traffic)?
Go some where local for an over priced ice cream or coffee, surrounded by screaming children?
If that sounds just awful why not grab your gear and shuffle down to Dockside. We are open right over the bank holiday weekend and would love to see you.
We can't offer ice cream but we do have free tea and coffee.
Go on….DO IT DO IT DO IT!! You know you want to. xx

Here at Dockside we like to think that the thing that connects us all is our love for music.
We don't care if you are black, white, part of the LBGT community, or any other permutation of humanity, we welcome you all.
So lets put our differences aside and unite through music.
In other words……..give us a ring and book a practice :-) !!

Peace and Love to all ###

13/06/2016

Ok you lovely people. Festival season has started and that can only mean one thing….Getting muddy, not washing for three days, and sharing a toilet with 100,000 other people !!
If that's not your cup of tea, why not come down to Dockside and be your own star. There is a burger van outside and a pub next door, so you can still get the festival vibe with fast food and alcohol :-) What more could you want? ###

27/05/2016

Yet another bank holiday is here music makers. Avoid disappointing day trips to some rain drenched hell hole, invaded by screaming children and over priced food and drink, by booking some rehearsal time with the lovely folks at Dockside Studios. Go on,go on,go on……you know you want to. ###
