We're here today upstairs at the Music Co-op. We are working on a huge major renovation of the
00:06
building. The Co-op has been here for about 40 years and it's been closed for the last three or
00:14
four while we've been gone and major renovation works and we're building a load of rehearsal
00:21
spaces and recording spaces downstairs. So yeah we're trying our best to get it open again for
00:28
the local community. We've been on site 14 months. The first phase was to repair the building itself
00:36
with the roof, the walls, the windows. We were funded by LCC, UKSPF and Heritage Action Zone
00:45
and now we're into phase two which is doing the internals. So we're doing four music rehearsal
00:51
rooms, a recording studio and a control room upstairs in the small cottage and then the bit
00:58
that we're in at the moment is the large first floor which is yet to have a full designated
01:04
purpose but as you can see it's quite a beautiful space. As you can see the roof in the upstairs
01:10
area has been completely replaced so that's all brand new. All the outside work's pretty much done
01:16
and we're just concentrating now on building the actual structures of the rehearsal rooms
01:21
and the recording studio so yeah we're getting there. We've had some challenges, mainly repairing
01:27
the existing structure, getting the sound right, rebuilding the floor because we had to build it
01:33
for 200 people so there was a lot of messing around there, setting up the site cabins, getting all the
01:39
windows detailed right, putting these huge roof lights in, repairing the existing structure
01:46
to mention a few things but yeah we're on target. We've got a deadline for them this month for UKSPF
01:53
which we had a site meeting this morning and we're on track for. We started doing things like having
01:59
regular gigs for local bands to play and we're just trying to build up momentum so that when we
02:05
get open again everyone knows we're here and everyone knows you can come and record and
02:10
rehearse here so yeah the community is looking forward to it being back open I think.
