Loom Studio

I've worked in many commercial and project studios up and down the country, but I'm proud to call Loom Studio home. Based centrally in West Yorkshire, the studio offers unparalleled value for money to unsigned bands & artists, and it's hosted some big names too! (Noel Gallagher, Stereophonics, The Charlatans)

I also love live recording at gigs or on location - contact me to chat details about these more specialised projects.

"My band have used Ben for all of our songs... and I can honestly say that I can't be happier with the finished products. Everything was done very professionally but it was also a very laid back atmosphere. Ben took plenty of time to figure out what sound we were looking for and went above and beyond to make sure that everything sounded amazing. I highly recommend anyone looking to record their music to reach out to him as you won't be disappointed at all."
