Kingswinford Rehearsal Rooms

     
Conveniently situated at Unit 1c, Dawley Trading Estate, Stallings Lane, Kingswinford, DY6 7HT, this facility is adjacent to MAJ Electronic, and consists of two rooms. Katz 1 is 8 metres x 5 metres in size. Katz II is 10 metres x 4 metres, and is laid out differently to Katz 1. Our aim is to provide a clean, amiable, secure rehearsal facility for musicians, whether they be old timers (sorry lads) or up and coming youngsters.

OUR POLICY - PLEASE READ THIS - IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU..
     

Everybody coming in here gets ONE chance, and one chance ONLY.

Any nuisance/abuse/arrogance/attitude/make a mess, you are not welcome. For example we are quite happy to provide refreshments for you but I'm dammed if I'm picking the up the wrappers from the floor (I'm NOT your mother...)

We DO NOT accomodate Death Metal/Heavy Metal/Thrash Metal/Bone Metal/Deaf Metal/Zonko Metal/From the planet Zarg Metal/I am a Lulu Metal/I have big Army boots Metal/Set all the amp controls on FULL Metal/Destroy the drum kit/Try all the gear out at full chat because I have none of my own/ bands. Please go elsewhere and quick - There is more to life and Rock music than this and it ain't my problem - I don't want to KNOW!

If something fails, that is not a problem, but physically broken equipment/drum heads or any damage to the room caused by dicking around you will be expected to pay for it - period....

Please do NOT try to hide something if it gets broken - the camera does not lie and it all comes out when we look at the video......

The most IMPORTANT thing TO US is that we need to know of ANY problems so we can address them right away. Please do not be afraid - we don't bite and look at all problems sympathetically..

WE are frequently asked by local promoters for contact numbers for "good" local bands. With your permission we will pass these on. NO commission, all part of the service. Sincereley hope you do well.

At least one adult must accompany any band with any members under 16 years old, unless previously agreed with KATZ owners.

IF YOU BOOK A SLOT AND FAIL TO TURN UP WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE THERE IS NO CHARGE, BUT DON'T ASK AGAIN...

Thats the way it is, I'm afraid...
