Unit 45 Recordings

08/03/2024

As some of you may know, it’s with a heavy heart to announce that Unit 45 Recordings is officially closed for good. This is due to reasons out of our hands, and because of the sale of Prospect Centre as a whole.

We would like to thank everyone who made it what it was (too many to list individually, but you know who you are), especially Alan Raw, The Creative and Cultural Organisation and Dom Sphere from Soundsphere magazine for all their support over the years. To all the bands/musicians who rehearsed and/or recorded here, thanks for making the Hull music scene one of the consistently best in the country. However keep your eyes peeled, as there’s still lots of great music yet to be released that was recorded at the studio!

It’s been a great journey, and it might sound cliché, but a lot of literal blood, sweat and tears went into making our studio what it was, yet it was truly worth every second.

As for the future, Nick Russell will still be producing, working at Young Thugs in York and various other studios (contact Nick Russell Music for bookings), and Casey Stead is still running Forever Underdogs, and expanding his roster every month.

Thanks for the ride 🤘

Unfortunately, for the time being, we won’t be able to take bookings past 6pm due to our broken shutter. We will update you when this is resolved. Thanks for your patience 😊
