About BeatenTrack
Built by a musician,
for local bands
Helping the Bournemouth music scene from grassroots level.
The story
Hi, I’m Erik
I started BeatenTrack to give local bands a proper place to play that doesn’t cost a fortune.
Some of you might remember it as The WCCA. For a short while it was named after The BCCA (the Boscombe Community Centre for Arts), but so many people thought I was doing magic and running a place for witchcraft that I had to change the name. Not even kidding.
Today BeatenTrack is three rehearsal rooms. I run it on my own, which is how we keep prices among the cheapest in the UK.
Then and now
How it all started
Drag the slider to see each room before and after the work.
Back Room
The first room used for rehearsals. Two new walls went up and a new laminated floor went down.
Front Room
Walls knocked down and the room soundproofed. Now the biggest room in the studio, with cameras and room mics ready to record.
Middle Room
The smallest and newest room. After some sound treatment it was ready for rehearsals.
What we’re about
Why BeatenTrack
Cheap, on purpose
Solo-run means low costs. Rooms start from £3.50 an hour, with 50% off every room between 9am and 6pm.
Always trying new things
The Front Room has cameras and room mics, so you can record or film your rehearsal without bringing any gear.
Community first
Local band pages, a music networking community and a player featuring bands from around Bournemouth.
