What people say

Real words from the people who use The Smashroom, shared with their kind permission. Some have been part of it for a few months, others for twenty years.

Where words fail, music speaks.

A safe place to grow my confidence, with like-minded people who are always supportive. It has helped my mental health, a place I can go to when times have been hard.

Music helps.

Band practice, meeting like-minded people, and a friendly atmosphere. Something to look forward to each week. Definitely confidence, support and advice.
Toby Whittingham6 years at The Smashroom

Music is everything. My therapy.

It is one of the few places I feel comfortable. It has given me confidence and a place to decompress. A safe space, no judgement, to vent, talk and let music help.

Family, community, judgement-free.

A safe place to practice, with top equipment, run by a great team. It has helped me with confidence and social connection.

Keep the music alive.

Practice time for band members, and important for writing and meeting people. It has helped me in so many ways: confidence, performance, and people helping each other.
Carl Woodcock17 years at The Smashroom
It is a nice place to hang out and practice songs with friends and like-minded people. My confidence grows, and I have learned how to control my vocals. It brings people together, and it helps people escape.

A great place, with great people.

Being around good people and a nice, calm atmosphere always helps. A safe place to get away from any challenges you may have.
