Hi I had a nightmare.
During one band practice the drummer ex Arrived with new partner having a go at the Bass player (who is also Neruo Diverse) for something he may or may not have said on the Monday the same people arrived and sat in on band practice. Without asking if it was ok with me or the bass player. Them being there made the session uncomfortable I asked them to leave they refused  saying wasn't up to you they had oked it with the studio Manger as this caused me to have a meltdown.  And last I got a message say they were going to come the week after I ask them not to and got torrent of abuse from them. I honestly don't what to do.

    If you're paying money for this room whoever runs it shouldn't be letting randoms in..

    The studio manager shouldn’t be letting in anyone who hasn’t paid to be in there. I’d tell them they can stay if they pay five pounds each, if not I wouldn’t play.

    the alternative is to change practise venues.

    But he did say they were friends of and with the bass player so he is the one who can stop them.
    If you can't stop them look at it as experience of having an audience thats what i did when people used to come and watch us practice at a local community centre.
    If you cant resolve it with the bass player then you probably are with the wrong band or naybe if the guitarist is on your side you can bin the bass player if he doesnt cooperate, The intruders at least should not be bringing up outside matters during the practice or even interrupting at all, I would be like- if you insist on being the bass players guest then you must be silent throughout.
    Move the seating next to the drums and put stuff there so they either get deafened or have to stand up throughout.
    If they are coming in uninvited by anyone i would block the door somehow.
    No way is it normal for people to intrude into a privately hired room where a practice is taking place.
