Crawford13 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Does anyone know of any private rehearsal space that can be rented in central Scotland? My band like the idea of having our own space we can rent and leave our gear so we can rehearsal when we want instead of having to conform to time slots.

TorturedSaints Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 There are occasional ads on Gumtree in Glasgow and Edinburgh for private rehearsal spaces. Other than that I don't know of any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon. Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I used to use SubStation in Rosyth. They have a couple of rehearsal rooms for hourly rent, but did have a 3rd space which we had as a monthly rental. Not sure if they are still doing that, but it's worth asking.

Elfrasho Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Dalmarnock, Glasgow. I've had various units in there over the years. Can't for the life of me remember the company who owns them, but I could find out for you if you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 We used to use a builders office space in Borders regions so it might be worth asking around if you know anyone with a possible spare office that you could use after work hrs or weekends. We paid a monthly rental of £80 but we could use any night or weekend we wanted and we could leave our gear and PA set up ready to go.

Mcgiver69 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Isn't it cheaper and easier to just buy a Jamhub and a used e-drums kit and rehearse at home? that way you spend your money in beer and snacks? We did that and: - Haven't missed playing and hauling our gear around - Never looked back as once you get used to the headphones everything is better and your singer won't end up voiceless and your neighbours will not hate you. - You can rehearse anywhere at anytime for as long as you need it.

Glad it’s working for your band. I think it would be a pretty hard sell to my band... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty it wasn't a walk in the park for me to sell it to my band but after some convincing they decided to try it out and they now are glad we went that way. I remember that after the first rehearsal the singer commenting that it was the first time in a long time her voice was not affected after a rehearsal.

dmccombe7 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 what sort of rental charge is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 In terms of the site at Dalmarnock site, the rent is generally dependent on the size of the room you are using. You are honestly just best off contacting the company to see what they have available. A general guide would by £280 -£400 per month though it has been a couple of years since I was renting directly from the company. There might not be anything free either if all the rooms are currently rented out. In practical terms to most likely chance of getting a room there is via an official 'sub let' from the main tenant who is renting the space from the company and sharing with one of two other bands for costs sake. Spaces on it can be advertised on Gumtree etc. I am aware that there used to be rehearsal spaces for rent behind Viper in the West End. Given the location though, the rooms were pretty small and the rent was higher as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Think i'll stick with Berkeley studios in Glasgow. All the gear is there apart from me and my bass. Costing us approx £120 / month. Was paying £80 / month for a studio space in Borders area but it was basically a builder that had a spare large office he didn't need and we could leave all our gear there. Included electricity and use at anytime. Think that was just a bit of luck to be honest. Friend of a friend kinda thing. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
