Club 60 Music

‘Probably the most unique recording studio space I’ve ever seen…’
That’s what Roy Harrison, international studio service engineer with 35 years’ experience, said when he visited Club60 Studio. He loved our live space: 3 vaulted cellars that used to be a Jazz & Blues venue in the 1960s, with an ambience that naturally enhances our recordings.

A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN

At Club60 recording studio we record using both analogue & digital equipment.
We’re as happy recording to tape as we are to Pro Tools. Our head engineer, Paul Blakeman, has over 20 years of sound engineering experience in both studios & live shows. We can use the live rooms for intimate live recordings too, and it looks great on video!

PRICES START AT £15/HOUR OR £150/DAY.

Whatever’s best for you…
We always liaise before sessions to find out what you want the final product to be so we can provide it at the best price; for most people time is a crucial factor so we offer daily or hourly rates to suit your needs.

We know people that own studios like to show off their toys…
So here’s a list of our tackle…!
