Who's Recording at Rural Studios | News | Solo Artists and Bands

Russ Poole is a young and very talented singer/songwriter. He writes music that is vibrant in texture and emotion... we have had the honour of working with him on several occasions and hope to again soon. His passion for music and sense of humour make him a pleasure to work with.

Russ is currently touring the Gloucestershire area so if you'd like him to appear in a place near you then you can follow the link above.

You can listen to some of his work below:

"Beautiful location, relaxed atmosphere and friendly people!

Several of my songs have been recorded here so far, and I don’t need to look elsewhere. After a couple of hours in the studio I had my song starting to sound better than I thought it could sound!

I cannot fault the recording, mixing or mastering that was done here, these guys will work hard to ensure any recording session produces fantastic results.

If any band, musician, singer or songwriter wants top quality recordings at a great price, this place is perfect."

Josh originally came to Rural Studios as his girlfriend bought him some studio time as a Birthday Present. After recording his first track he is now back with his band working on new and fresh material.

This is EVO, a singer songwriter, originally from Cardiff but now plying his trade in London. He came to stay and record for the weekend. Once we got the tracks laid down and were happy with everything we perfected anything that needed perfecting and then started work on the production and the mastering. In between were a couple of late nights, quite a few pizzas and just a few beers. All in all it was a fantastic weekends recording!

Have a listen to Evo's music above. We are happy to announce that he'll be coming back to do some more recording and production with us. Check back soon!

At Rural Studios John recorded a selection of songs on the lyre from around the world and spanning many genres; from 'House of the Rising Sun' to 'Nite Kelefe', an Albanian folk song.

John is now in the process of turning the works into a new album called 'Pale Blue Rock' - if you would like to find out more about John have a look at his website.

"My recording at Rural Studios was organised by my girlfriend (who knows nothing about music!), as a birthday present. With the help of Jon and Rich over the phone she was able to organise it easily.

I felt very relaxed and calm throughout the process because of the beautiful surrounding county-side, and the engineer, Rich; who was making sure that everything was well organised before we got there and during the recording. I will defiantly be returning to Rural Studios to do more work." Josh Hopkins 2009

Sarah is a singer/songwriter originally from Cheltenham. Her music has a wonderful melancholy, she sounds much like Vashiti Bunyan. Her voice and style of acoustic/folk will leave you wondering. She has recently moved to the South East and we wish her the best of luck there, and hope she will be back to do some more recording with us when she returns. You can follow her on her new MySpace here: http://www.myspace.com/sarahburdy
