Beliefspace Studio
Beliefspace Studio is currently under construction, when finished it will serve as my personal recording space, jamming room and teaching area. The studio will provide the base for forthcoming projects. Watch this space!
Tanglewood Studio
Beliefspace Studio is my second recording studio. Its first incarnation was Tanglewood Studio which I set-up with funding from the Prince's Trust over ten years ago.
Back in '98 computers were not yet fast enough to handle multitrack audio recording and cheap recording time was in demand. By fixing my price at £10 per hour, and providing package deals, I provided an affordable recording service for many local artists.
Tanglewood Studio ran for almost 8 years, until the conception of Beliefspace Studio.
