Terms & Conditions
The main rule
The main rule is to treat the place with respect. Like a close friend lent it to you as a favour and will be pretty miffed if it doesn't go back to her more or less in the same condition.
This is a rehearsal room
This is a rehearsal room. It is important you hold this concept front and centre. The room isn't for anything other than rehearsing bands. Definitely not parties, gigs, social events, sordid encounters, public debates, flash sales, rodeos, or any other form of human activity that isn't musicians getting together to work on their music.
Turn it down
Turn it down. Seriously. This is a reasonably soundproof-ish space, but it doesn't mean you can make intolerable amounts of noise just because you can't hear it outside. If you have to turn it up that loud for it to sound good, you're not doing it right.
Close all the doors. This is pretty important for keeping our neighbours happy as it minimises the noise. There are four (4) doors that should be shut – the outside door, the roller door, and the two doors to the space itself.
Alcohol
Working musicians definitely need a drink while they rehearse. We don't have a problem with alcohol in the room. Just drink responsibly, tidy up after yourselves, and don't tip beer into the mixer.
For God's sake, don't tip beer into the mixer. It's probably the most valuable thing in here.
Your booking time
Your booking time is completely inclusive of everything. Your booking time includes your load in and load out times. Out means out – it means all your gear and people and rubbish and everything no longer in the room.
Neighbours
There are neighbours. This is, believe it or not, also a place where people live nearby. Be nice to them! Please treat them with respect in every way you are able to treat them with respect.
Smoking
No smoking. That means you. And yes, we will notice. If you do need a smoke, somewhere away from the front door, please. The loading dock round the corner is ideal for smoking. Vaping, on the other hand, we can live with, provided it's not against the law and the rest of the band doesn't mind.
