Its flagship, 3000 square feet (278.7 m²) North Studio was completely refurbished in 2008 and is the only UK studio incorporting a brand new, full-size DigiDesign D-Show Venue digital console. It also offers the 2500 square feet (232.3 m²) South Studio and the Green Studio and Blue Studios - which are 1200 square feet (111.5 m²) and 1500 square feet (139.4 m²) respectively. Each one is open from 10am to 10pm, seven days per week.

Well known in the industry as rehearsal studios, each studio is also available to hire for showcase gigs, video shoots, and live broadcasts. They come with access to a fully equipped production office (with wireless internet), a private lounge, and secure on-site parking (fully CCTV-controlled, with 24-hour manned gates).

Backline Hire

Music Bank is possibly the largest backline rental resource in Europe, if not the world. It is well known not only for its vast inventory, but for the knowledge, experience and preparation that comes with every single piece of equipment. Every item always comes fully prepped and tested and is available for collection or delivery Europe-wide.

Music Bank is the preferred backline supplier to the Glastonbury Festival for the past 14 years, to both the V Festival and the Big Chill for the past five years and, more recently, The Green Man Festival, L.E.D Festival, WOMAD, Camp Bestival and Bestival.
