As some of my friends may know I worked in a Rehearsal music studio for 12 years and in June I was made redundant. It has now closed it's doors.
It was a sad time for us and the music industry all together. You can Read a short article on it and the entertainment industry in this link

We made a lot of friends and had a lot of laughs with the artists that used the studio.
I personally have had the pleasure of working with, setting up studios for and knowing some of the most wonderful people in the industry, to name a few:
Adam Ant, Ariana Grande, Bjork (from Abba), Blue, Bombay Bicycle Club, Britains got talent, Bruno Major, Bruno Mars, Charlie XCX, Chrissie Hind, Dua Lipa, Eliza Doolittle, First Dates, Glen Matlock (S*x Pistols), Heaven 17, Holy Holy (Tribute band to David Bowie including Drummer and Guitarist from Spiders from mars), Lush, Marc Almond, Marina and the Diamonds, Paloma Faith, Pete Doherty (Libertines), Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), Plan B, Roger Taylor (Queen), Sam Smith, School of Rock, Steve Norman (Spandau Ballet), Suede,
The Jackals (Carl Barat), The Magic Brothers (Woody drummer from Madness), The Specials,
The Voice, Tiggi Hawke, Tom Walker, UB40, Will Ferrell, Yoko Ono.
It's been a hard time for all the entertainment industry and I wish all my friends and colleagues the best, and lets hope that the Music, Theatre, Comedy and all entertainment gets a speedy recovery.
In the mean time let's beat this thing and get things back to normal.
I wish you all well.
The business of selling music is looking healthier, but those who perform it are still suffering.
