🎤 Client Spotlight: The Blow-Inns 🎤

Scarborough Folk Duo The Blow-Inns recorded their latest album, All Along the Sand, here at Beckview Studios. Here’s what Phil Bennett had to say:

“We’ve had some great feedback from folky friends who wrote for a Yorkshire-based folk magazine. One of the things they commented on was the real clear ‘live’ feel of the recording.”

We love hearing how our work resonates with artists and listeners alike.

If you’re a fan of authentic, atmospheric folk music, we highly recommend checking out All Along the Sand. Support The Blow-Inns and listen here:https://theblow-ins1.bandcamp.com/album/all-along-the-sand

We’re proud to share Americana UK’s heartfelt review of “The Veteran’s Song” by Scarborough’s Phil Hooley Music which was recorded at our previous Beckview Studios location.

This track offers more than just beautiful melodies; it represents a thoughtful reflection on conflict and the unexpected journeys songs can take.

With Pete Norman’s resonant double bass, Adam Carpenter’s lush keys, and Andy Gamble’s guitar work that gracefully rises within the arrangement, the recording gently surrounds Hooley’s warm, character-rich vocals.

https://www.yorkshirecoastgigs.co.uk/reviews/gigs/live-and-loud-by-beckview-studios-for-scarborough-extreme-festival/

The review called it ‘a vigorous and effective call to arms’ for live music and grassroots gigs, and we couldn’t agree more.
