Open and ready to bring the noise!!!!
Reopened in April 2013 Wiltshire College are offering a set of local
rehearsal spaces within the college building at a very affordable price.
The rehearsal spaces come in all sizes, catering for every size band,
purposely built for their job and featuring a comfortable environment for
bands to rehearse for upcoming gigs or write a new song or two.
Currently for new members of the rooms, the college are offering one free
evening session to get comfortable with the rooms and ensure they cater
for each bands individual needs. The rooms are open on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings from 5pm-9pm and feature a drum kit, Marshall guitar
combos, a bass amplifier and a set of vocal microphones. Also included
in the room is a small PA system loud enough for the vocals to be heard
over the loudest of drummers and gives the option for keyboard and
acoustic guitars to be heard.
If new members wish to continue rehearsals at the college after their free
evening session there is a fee of £10 p/h with a two hour minimum to
allow for set up and break down. There is also the option for recordings to
be done at the college at the fee of £100 for the night from 5pm-9pm. This
evening recording session includes use of any of the college
microphones, equipment, use of the "Orange room" studio and a live
room of the bands choice. The recordings will be carried out by exstudent turn employee Scott Batt, who completed 2 years of college
studies and now works running the rehearsal rooms and recording studio.
Scott is currently recording the Salisbury band, FoxPunch's debut LP "We
Can Win" at the college and plenty of exciting projects in the near future.
Bands currently rehearsing at the college include punk-ska band
Foxpunch as well as the award-winning Salisbury band The Intercepteurs
and the self proclaimed kings of "Mongrel Rock" Lump.
