Who are Bally Studios?                   

Formed in 2005, Bally Studios is brought to you by the same people that were responsible for The Dirty Rider Club- Jimmy Mulvihill and Francesca Agati .

Before starting Bally Studios in April 2005, Jimmy and Francesca ran The Dirty Rider Club, which was a promotions company, running club nights at various venues around London (Tufnell Park, Kentish Town, Richmond, Bethnal Green etc), before starting their own venue in Kilburn, North West London, above Southern K, which in itself came to be known as The Dirty Rider Club. The Dirty Rider Club is now no more and will not be revived. 

Jimmy formally played lead guitar in The March Hares, a London based independent underground band, and before that The Infidels. Francesca initially trained as an actress, acting in theatre, tv and film. She has huge passion for music and plays the guitar.

 It is through the experiences that we have had from coming into contact with bands at the club (over 600 in the last 18 months of the club alone), and through our contact with bands on the underground music scene that that we have realised that many bands find it hard to find a good rehearsal studio without breaking the bank. This was why we started Bally Studios.  After looking for a building that would lend itself well to rehearsal rooms, for 18 longs months of over 200 estate agents and numerous fruitless leads, we decided to take on an already established, if slightly run down, rehearsal room, Sync City, in Tottenham Hale.  Since turning into Bally Studios, the studios have gone from a sleepy 2 room complex to a bustling 4 rooms complex, and all of the equipment, (the guitar amps, bass amps, PA systems, microphones, etc) have been upgraded, and the service has dramatically improved.  Extra sound proofing has been undertaken, and we now offer strings, plectrums, as well as various other things that a band will invariably need at the rehearsal rooms.  

So if you're looking for a new rehearsal rooms, please consider us.  We are very friendly, have great equipment, aren't exorbitantly expensive, have nice air conditioned and comfortable rooms, and we're sure that you'll find yourselves pleasantly surprised at the standard of the facilities at the studios, particularly if you have visited Sync City prior to October 2005.

Cheers!!   Jimmy Mulvihill and Francesca Agati
