Description: Technical Visit to Mark Knopfler’s music recording studios.
Start Time: 11:00
Date: 2010-02-23
We’ve managed to squeeze in a visit to British Grove Studios that was built by Mark Knopfler as “a monument to past and future technology”. It has two studios. Alongside modern technology, the equipment includes two old EMI mixing consoles: a very rare tube desk from the 1960s like the ones used by George Martin and The Beatles and a later console on which the album Band on the Run was actually recorded. The large console in Studio One is a custom-made Neve 88R, while the console in Studio Two is an API Legacy.
In February 2009, British Grove Studio was the winner of the Music Producers Guild Award for ‘Best Studio’.
The visit is for AES members only and numbers limited. Please email/phone Heather Lane (or use the contact form here, select “membership and general enquiries” option) to reserve a space and confirm availability.
[Note: due to commercial pressures, there is a small, but finite chance, that this visit might get cancelled at the last minute - sorry, but we think the opportunity to visit this great facility is worth the chance! For this reason, it is imperative we get your contact details so, should the worst happen, we can let you know]
