5.00Live Studio Music first! Visiting Windmill Lane Recording Studios is an absolutely incredible experience and a must-do for anyone who appreciates live studio music and production. From the moment you step inside, you are immersed in the creative atmosphere of a space that has hosted countless legendary artists. Tour Highlights: • The Control Rooms: Getting up close to the massive, state-of-the-art mixing consoles is breathtaking. Seeing the intricate, hands-on setups and the sheer scale of the recording equipment really puts the art of music production into perspective. • Engaging History: The experience goes far beyond just looking at gear. Standing in the actual live recording rooms while seeing presentations of archival photos brings the rich, fascinating history of the building to life. The staff are welcoming, passionate, and clearly love sharing the magic of the studio. • The "Wall of Fame": One of the most charming and visually striking parts of the tour is seeing the walls completely covered in signatures, heartfelt messages, and Polaroid photos from bands and artists who have recorded there. It serves as a beautiful, physical scrapbook of the studio's ongoing legacy. Whether you are a musician, a dedicated audiophile, or just a fan of music history, this tour offers a fantastic behind-the-scenes look at where the magic happens. I highly recommend it to everyone!
A must for any music fan

5.00The tour of the legendary Windmill Lane Recording Studios is a must for any music fan - cool demos, fantastically knowledgeable guides and a behind-the-scenes insight into so many iconic albums and soundtracks, featuring artists that you might not even realise have recorded there. Lasts about an hour and packs a lot into the time. One of the best tours I've taken in ages - more than worth the price of admission.
Windmill Lane is great
