Finding the right space to rehearse and can be a real struggle. Cramped garages, noise complaints and the joy of hauling drum kits up stairs. The Holding Cell at The Old Courts takes all the hassle away. With a fully equipped set up ready to plug in and play, bands and musicians can walk in, get straight to it and focus on what really matters, making some noise!
