It's been great to see you all over "there", if you're also there, have a look for us and add us, so that we can add you back! ❤️😃

This morning we released a new video that explains how many bands have been recording albums for less than £300, recorded over a single long weekend to 8-track, at Bally Studios. Many thank to Cody Jr for allowing us to film their session. ❤️ youtube.com/watch?v=3didVo…

We've just added some brand new cymbals to the studios, B20 Bronze ones, with x2 extra 16" and 18" crashes, to go along with the 14" crashes that we already have, and 13" hi-hats, + a super cute 12" crash, and new cables. Cost of hiring the cymbals? Free, of course! 😎👍

We're focusing more on newsletters in 2025 rather than social media, so here's a link to our new December 2024 newsletter, with LOTS of new info in it. New equipment, new staff members, new booking system, lots of "new" things. 😃👍 shorturl.at/fkilT

We've written a two-part blog post about rehearsal studios that don't have staff members on site, and why we think that they're really bad for both bands, and the grassroots music scene in general. 🙂👍 ballystudios.co.uk/single-post/re…

Yayy!!! 😃👍❤️

Find out if you got the first Horndle right - lots of you did! Next one in an hour, might be trickier. #horndle

Day two of Horndle brings us to Sindiy! When you know what song this is, comment below with your answer. NO GOOGLING! #horndle

We've changed the format of our availability calendar so that it's easier to see at a glance what slots we have available. Here's the link to it. 😀👍 docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

As many of the usual Bally bands will have noticed over the last few weeks, we've installed guitar hangers in all of the studios, so that bands no longer need to bring their own, saving space and effort. 📷They're also on sale in the office, £8.50 each. 🙂👍

Another 8-track recording session at Bally Studios. Loads of bands have been recording EP's in less than 4 hours, with a live raw recording, just a tiny bit of mixing, and all for less than £100 in all. 🙂👍

We've been churning out loads more badges in the office over the last month or so, including these Bally Pride badges that have been our most popular badges since we started making Bally Badges in 2005! 🏳️‍🌈 Get in touch if you're looking for band badges for your band!

A couple of weeks ago we had the air conditioning in 2 of our studios upgraded, with brand new AC units in Studio 2 & 4. They're not only more powerful than the previous ones, they're also a LOT quieter as well! ❄️❄️❄️❄️ Just in timel!🥵 More improvements are on their way!

We've just taken delivery of a 1970s Traynor YGM-4 Studio Mate Guitar amp. It has a 20-watt output stage powered by dual EL84 tubes, and x4 12AX7 tubes cover the preamp, reverb, tremolo, and phase-inverter duties. It also comes with a 4x8 inch speakers! Model Village 😉

Here's a peek at the process for how we make our button badges, not only the Bally Studios ones that we give out for free to all of the bands that come to us, but also the band badges that we sell as well! Prices start at £10 for 35 badges, fully inclusive. 😃👍
