Lovely little overkill mic set up for acoustic guitars. The room sounds fantastic for all things acoustic (and amplified for that matter). Hopefully the tracks from this session will be released soon… get on with it

🇫🇷 New to the Studio for 2024 🇫🇷 | A week long, fully catered guitar retreat taking place 16th - 23rd of June 2024

Your host and very good friend, Matthew Peacock (Motown The Musical, James, Mario Jose + more) takes you on a “Tour de Guitar” covering exciting topics such as soloing, improvising, chords and theory to name a few - varied range of abilities welcome.

Have you ever wanted to spend some dedicated time to improve that solo you can't quite nail or to understand those complicated chord names you keep seeing? Well this would is the perfect week for you: playing with like minded individuals guided by a true professional.

Not for you? The retreat would also make a perfect Christmas gift to that aunty or Uncle who always say they are going to pick the guitar up again - now they will have no excuse!

Don't miss this! We had a tremendous couple of weeks with these fabulous guys earlier this month when they were here writing and recording new songs. Not just real talent but they worked incredibly hard for 16 hours a day to perfect their music. Now about to tour in the UK and very exciting for us - they kidnapped Joe and took him back with them to do their tour sound engineering! It's very quiet here...
