Cheap
Rehearsal Rooms Available, on a long term basis!! Bally Studios now has three Rehearsal Rooms available on a Long Term (6- 12 months) rental basis. These rooms will be available on a partial lock out basis. How it works? Basically, at the moment the rehearsal rooms are all hired at an hourly rate, from 11am to 11pm, seven days a week. But now, due to new work commitments for the owners/managers of the studio, we have decided to offer our Studios 1,2 and 3 on a long term hire rate, where the rooms would be available to a band from Monday to Friday, from 6am to 6pm, which are currently our off peak times. So you get the benefits of a full time lock out, the convenience of having a rehearsal room for up to 60 hours a week, more than enough time to rehearse at a relaxed pace, record webcasts/podcasts, record an album (or two!!), do valuable pre-production or just get super tight as a band, at a much lower cost than usual. It’s a great option for bands that can rehearse during the daytime, leaving them free to gig in the evening, and for bands that work in the evening, weekends or at nights. Each band will be given their own key to the studio, so that they can come and go as they please, and they will also be given a key to their own storage cupboard, so at the beginning of the day, they can come in, get out their equipment, set it up and have their rehearsal. At the end of their day, they pack it away, lock the cupboard and head off home! While it is not as convenient as leaving all of your equipment set up, it is considerably cheaper than most lock out rates (the cheapest that we could find in london was £120 per day, for one days rental, our rooms are on offer for £16 - £23 per day(12 hour rental) for long term lets), and also, as you only pay for Mon-Fri, it also means that you can enjoy the weekend, and have a life outside of the band! We will require one months fully-refundable deposit in advance in order to secure the room for you. This will be returned in full at the end of your tenure. Each months rent will be required at the start of the month. Studio

It is a great opportunity for a band to save money in the long term, and to really put all of their efforts into making the band fulfill it’s potential. When you consider that many rehearsal rooms in London charge £12-£25 per hour for a daytime rehearsal, by biting the bullet and planning your rehearsals in advance, you can take the pressure off of your rehearsals by cutting the hourly rate, and considering how much the cost of pro audio equipment has become, be in total control of your bands future, by rehearsing and recording at your own pace. Recording
bands? Also, if you’re looking to start your own recording studio, and are looking at recording bands, it is an great opportunity to be able to hire the rooms to record bands, make a huge saving on the rental for your recording studio, not have to shell out large amounts on money, soundproofing or room acoustics, and leave your evenings and weekends free for pursuing other activities, like going to gigs, gigging yourself, etc. Small Record Label? If you're a band that is signed to a small record label, then this deal could be a great way for the record label to really help your band. If you work for an independent record label, the long term hire of a studio could be an extremely economical way to finance a band, or maybe even 2-3 bands, with bands taking different days of the week or maybe splitting the day up between each other (One band could take 10am-2pm, the other 2pm to 6pm) Band Sharing?
