Equipment storage…

We have had a couple of people enquire if we will offer secure storage for band gear?

The short answer is yes, we fully intend to offer some storage for equipment, however I’m now wondering just how much storage do we need?

If you were are regular user of Highwood DMS would you require storage? And what would you be storing?

FYI - the site is secure & gated, so access to equipment would only be whilst DMS is open or by prior arrangement for out of hours.

We now have 2 functional rooms, last week was our first live test of bands in both making wonderful noise!

Amps and drums blazing!!, rooms positioned not much more than 12” appart… the bleed and spill from room to room was minimal, the triple studd walls worked well.

It was bloody marvellous!

We are finishing some jobs on reception and the way in, a fair few more sand filled doors have been started this weekend.

we will be officially opening very soon.
