If it were 1/2 cost of the "going" rate, I'd be fine. I went to a different place & the same experience cost £25! And I had soup & a sandwich for £3! top it off, staff were lovely.

In the ten or so years I've been coming here , the studio hasn't changed much at all. I think that if you're starting out and weren't paying much attention to the quality of gear and sound of the rooms then this is a nice wee place to come. The quality of rehearsal rooms in Glasgow has gone up quite considerably and I can't imagine coming here over anywhere else unless I was desperate to find a room during a busy spell.

I might as well get my only complaint out of the way - the loos are a bit gross, although I did find one the other week a bit further into the studio which was a bit nicer. But considering the amount of people using the place on a daily basis, it definitely could be worse. The rooms have a good set-up, with everything you could possibly need to practice, even if you're a 7-piece like my band which includes keyboard, accordion and saxophone! The staff running the place are fab and always make sure you've got everything you need and if the temperature, etc. in the room is ok. As well as making sure everyone gets in and out of the rooms at the right time. Besides that, they just let you get on with it which is ideal. There are vending machines with your usual snacky foods and drinks (very helpful when you're rehearsing from 9pm-midnight and chocolate/some form of energy is needed) as well as a hot drink machine which I've yet to use, but given its popularity with the rest of my bandmates I'm gonna guess that it's at least decent! (Maybe you'll get an update when I finally try the coffee/hot chocolate!) I do believe it's about £30 for 3 hours which, for the quality of the premises and everything, seems really decent! (I don't know the exact figure, we pay £4 each a week and as mentioned, there are 7 of us so I'm guessing it's about that.) I hear from more experienced band-type musicians that it is the rehearsal space of choice (I used to play in a concert band and we got to rehearse in a school for free, so I don't really have any previously knowledge in this area) so yep, highly recommend it!!

I probably wouldn't rehearse in here all the time but if you have a gig coming up and want to rehearse somewhere with no hassle, working equipment and staff who know their stuff when it comes to sound then it's ideal. The downside is that it can be quite hard to get a booking, but, well, I guess that's what happens when a studio is made to this standard!

Nevertheless, I've spent many a happy three hour block in this wee corner of Maryhill, and the studio is in a good spot, handy for buses and has lots of parking out front, something that studios struggle with! The guys running this place seem to be there round the clock, and are a terribly obliging bunch. They make an excellent cuppa too, and if you're lucky and the kitchen is up and running, you may get a roll and "squerr sausage". With plenty of equipment, a good range of rooms and recording facilities, should you want them, I would heartily recommend these guys for your rehearsing needs. Bonus info: due to their proximity to the BBC Comedy Unit, you may occasionally see Gary: Tank Commander's sister's car in the car park.
