"It was a very famous place, and it would cost about five shillings (40 cents) to rent one of the old schoolrooms for a day. Everyone in the Midlands would use it, because there was nowhere else you could go and rehearse, turn up the volume as loud as you wanted, and blast out." - K.K. Downing, Heavy Duty official biography, 1984
"One night at a local rehearsal room called Holy Joe's in Wednesbury (run by a Vicar called 'Father Husband'), I heard a band I liked the sound of. I put my head 'round the door to see three young head-banging, crazy, long haired guys, amps full up."- Al Atkins, Victim Of Changes liner note, 1997
