SlateRoom Studio is 10 years old

October 23rd 2014 I did the very first session in (a very incomplete) Stateroom Studio with SeaOfCrowns. There was a missing back wall, no air con and the acoustics were very far from finished, but the absolute joy of doing a session in the space was incredible. If I recall we cut some guitars and vocals.

In truth, the studio was a solid 4 months away from being ‘finished’ (well.. version 1 of finished) with works continuing well into the start of 2015, but today is the date I call Day 1.

Over the 10 years the studio has undergone several revamps, the biggest of which was coming out of the pandemic where I swapped things around realising the full potential of the space, but other changes have been much more incremental. I am at heart a tinkerer and the strive to better this working environment has never gone away.

So - on the studios 10th Birthday, I’d love to say thanks to all the bands , artists, composers and producers who’ve trusted me and my space with their music, films and theatre productions. I’d also love to say a huge thanks Stuart at Castlesound for housing Stateroom Studio and allowing it to quietly and consistently grow from strength to strength.

Next week I am going to take apart the front of the studio and implement a few more imperceptible little changes, in the endless strive to make my little corner of the world better. I hope in 10 years time theres still plenty on that list.

Delighted to announce the arrival of Edinburgh based singer-songwriter Stephen McCafferty to the roster!

Combining introspective lyrics with anthemic choruses, Stephen draws inspiration from classic 20th-century song-writing, adding depth with existential themes influenced by literature and pop culture.

He has graced stages at festivals such as The Isle of Wight and received airplay on BBC Introducing as well as gaining national attention with three XFM Breakout "tracks of the week" with his band, Return To The Sun.

After a reflective break, Stephen returned to his roots with a renewed vision. Now, as a solo artist, Stephen is gearing up to release his debut album, one single at a time!
