Bass Amp and Guitar Amp Hire

We have 100 Watt Bass Combo Amps and 60 Watt Guitar Combo amps available for hire. The rental charge is £2 per amp, per session. Please add these to your booking when arranging your rehearsals.

Advance Notice - Rehearsal Fee Changes

As from 1st January 2010, we will be introducing a new pricing tariff for rehearsal bookings. Bookings will remain as minimum four hour blocks. The fees will be:

£40 OFF PEAK for a four hour session: £10 per additional hour. Off peak is 10am till 6pm, Monday through Saturday.
£45 PEAK TIME for a four hour session: £10 per additional hour. Peak time is 6pm till midnight, Monday through Saturday, as well as all day Sunday. This includes any rehearsal slots that touch upon these hours. For example, a 3pm-7pm rehearsal would still count as peak, as it encroaches upon the peak time hours.
£35 'NIGHTHAWK' four hour rehearsal. Nighthawk rehearsals are an exclusive offer: These are rehearsals booked for 10pm-2am or 11pm-3am, 7 days a week.
Guitar and Bass Amp hire will remain at £2 per amp, per session.

Rehearsal Pricing

Our standard booking is a four hour session. This is charged at £40.

Longer sessions are also welcomed. Additional hours are charged at £10 per hour.

We are open for bookings from 10am till 3am. Our usual session times are as follows (exceptions possible on request!):
