"Adding that magic and shimmer to already great songs." - Hannah Peel ✨
One month until Paul Weller’s new album ‘66’ is out! We were honoured to record orchestral arrangements with the wonderful Hannah Peel in Studio Two. Sessions engineered by John Barrett with Chris Parker and Tom Ashpitel. 🎶
A masterclass in arrangement, we can’t wait to hear the finished record.
"Maybe a lot of the women in the room will have the experience of getting into a studio and people just automatically think you don’t know what you’re doing."
Abbey Road's very own Nia offers up some great advice on becoming a recording engineer. 🎛️

"You don't know what skill set yours is going to be."
The road to becoming an engineer isn't always linear, as mixer behind the British Grime scene Michalis 'MSM' Michael pointed out at our annual Abbey Road Amplify festival last year.
Working with the likes of Skepta, Drake, and Mahalia, MsM's transition from DJ to mixing engineer has certainly paid off... 🎛️

Celebrating one year of Morgan Wallen's album, 'One Thing At A Time' at Abbey Road Studios ❤️
We've had this clip of this never-before recorded Nothing But Thieves cover on repeat, as well as the sensational live clip of 'Lies Lies Lies' at Abbey Road Studios, which reached one million views in just 3 days, and was the #2 trending video in the U.S. last week! A testament to both the song and this performance.
In just one year, this incredible album from Morgan has topped the charts with billions of streams. Coinciding with its anniversary, Morgan recorded 5 brand new live versions of tracks from the album, and this cover of Nothing But Thieves' Graveyard Whistling’, all recorded here in Studio Two.
Sessions were recorded by Lewis Jones along with Matt Jones, Tommy Bosustow and Sarah Meyz.

Today, we mourn the loss of a true musical legend, Cockney Rebel frontman, Steve Harley. 🤍
From ‘Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)’ to 'Love's a Prima Donna' to 'The Candidate', Steve’s artistry has left an indelible mark on our studio's history.
Rest in peace, Steve. Your legacy will echo through the ages... 🎸
