With deep sadness the Allman Brothers Band learned today that founding member Dickey Betts has passed away peacefully in his home in Sarasota, Florida, following a period of declining health.

Dickey wrote quintessential Brothers songs including “Blue Sky,” “Rambling Man,” “Jessica,” “in Memory of Elizabeth Reed” and many others. His extraordinary guitar playing alongside guitarist Duane Allman created a unique dual guitar signature sound that became the signature sound of the genre known as Southern Rock.

He was passionate in life, be it music, songwriting, fishing, hunting, boating, golf, karate or boxing. Dickey was all in on and excelled at anything that caught his attention.

Betts joins his brothers, Duane Allman, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks and Gregg Allman, as well as ABB crew members Twiggs Lyndon, Joe Dan Petty, Red Dog, Kim Payne and Mike Callahan in that old Winnebago in the sky touring the world taking their music to all who will listen.

Our condolences to his immediate family, Donna, Duane & Lisa, Christy & Frank, Jessica, and Kim.

Play on Brother Dickey, you will be forever remembered and deeply missed.

Allman Brothers Band, Family, and Crew

Hot Day in the studio?? .. NEVER!

Nicky Newman explains a little of why our space is so good to be creative in during highs of 41 degree heat! 🔥

Our studio is super cool in this heat - the benefit of extremely thick walls and massive thermal insulation.

Are you are budding Producer? Are you ready to geek out a little? Here is a bitesize talk through the process of recording a track and the mastering stage .... with Dutch Van Spall - working with artist Nicky Newman Enjoy ..... Big Help Music

Trying out guitar part ideas for a new song for Nicky Newman due out this October. Big Help Music’s Dutch Van Spall is back in the Producer’s chair and laying down a range of instruments and BVs. Did you know that Dutch used to be a senior soprano boy chorister with a very famous Choir and toured in the USA with the choir as well as sing in exchange concerts with the Vienna Boys’ Choir.

Regional Studio of the Year

Award winning Studio (West Midlands STUDIO OF THE YEAR 2015-2018) set in a park-side location next to the river Avon on the edge of Rugby in a zero-carbon building.

Used by Fred Cox (Producer/Writer for Rag n Bone Man, Paloma Faith, Izzy Bizu), Alix original (Universal/Kobalt), Matt Cotterill (Flipside Studios, Speak Brother), Sam Skirrow (Clean Bandit), Dan Hutchinson (Zara Larsson). We’ve also hosted FEMME, Jin Jin (Jess Glynne), Phil Harding (Kylie), and many more. Our LIVE ROOM is capable of holding a 30 voice choir with ease - or a full 8 piece band with kit, backline and separation screens. The CONTROL ROOM is also luxuriously large - with a tuned upright piano and sofa to accommodate band members during those long days - and plenty of room for Control Room recording sessions too. We also have a Yamaha House Kit, Fender 5-string Bass and a selection of guitars for clients who are travelling light.

We also have a separate break-out room with tuned upright piano and a kitchen. Our in-house equipment has ProTools, Logic and all the mics you will need to satisfy your production needs. The studio is also designed to allow Producers to insert their own preferred set-up with ease - and we can provide our house engineer to give as much or as little help as you require. Built from 250 straw bales, lime-rendered in the traditional manner, earth roof and reclaimed materials and powered by sunlight and magic. Run by a creative and passionate team with decades of experience and fabulous current music industry connections. With rainwater harvesting, food growing areas and natural solar heating - this is an ecologically sustainable construction with highly efficient energy use in its operational design. Video has become an essential component in any Artists' tool box. We also have a dedicated Video Production team in a separate building on-site - running Adobe's Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, LightRoom - as well as an experienced crew to help you plan and execute your video needs - from a simple studio recording through to a location based storyboarded production.

Big Help Music’s HQ is also on-site with an experienced team to advise on promotion should you need it. They also have in-house graphics design and certified social network platform growth advisors.
