Maybe you know someone like this, who can sing and would love to be part of something special. Whether just for a laugh or for a demo that could propel you to stardom, nothing is impossible! This can be the ideal gift for that special someone’s birthday, anniversary, or perhaps you just feel like letting someone know how much you love them. There’s no age limit so if you’d like to bring your little ones to sing Take That or get Nana singing Ella Fitzgerald, there’s a great time to be had by everyone. If you want to have fun with the experience, we have a relaxed atmosphere with friendly and open engineers. If you want to be serious, our Head Engineer is a trained vocal coach and can provide tips and an objective ear to get the best out of your voice.

When the session is finished and mixed, we make 2 copies of a personalised CD for you to take away. We can provide the backing tracks for a huge selection of songs, and as long as you give us enough notice even if we can’t find the track you’re after, chances are our professional team of session musicians can record the track in the studio for you. For a recording session (including warm-ups, several vocal takes, processing and CD mastering) prices start at £40. We don’t mind if you bring some guests along with you – it might just help you relax into getting that vocal take that lasts four minutes – and lasts a lifetime.
