Currently, there is no community rehearsal space for music artists in Galway City. As a European Capital of Culture it is simply unacceptable that we don't have this important resource in our locality.

The social and mental health benefits of music creativity are well documented. A rehearsal space in Galway is a vital necessity and should be provided for the common good of everyone in the community.

We are calling on the Galway City Council to support this initiative and provide a safe and accessible facility. Sporting amenities are quite rightly put in place and managed by the local authorities. We want the same respect and consideration to be given to music artists of all ages and backgrounds in Galway.
