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
