The Winchester Audio Barn is a unique blend of retro charm and cutting-edge technology. A state-of-the-art recording studio three years in the making. Designed by a world-renowned acoustic engineer, a master technician, and a dreamer. It’s where vintage soul meets modern sound.
Having spent time in and around the music industry since 1983 – and having failed rather spectacularly in his bid to become a ‘rock god’ – Niall decided the next best thing was to help others pursue their own dreams and aspirations. After selling a large building in London, he invested the proceeds into this project to see where it might take him.
Bill led technical operations at Trevor Horn’s SARM Studios for 12 years, and has spent the last 25 years running Langdale Technical, delivering world-class facilities for clients as diverse as Peter Gabriel, Westminster University and Albany, Bahamas.
Chris is an acoustician and owner of Level Acoustic Design, with over 20 years experience designing studios for clients including Abbey Road, RAK, Apple, Mark Ronson, Nile Rodgers and Noel Gallagher.
Stuart is a renowned engineer, producer, musician and educator who brings a wealth of experience to every project and has an intrinsic understanding of the dynamics of modern studio production. His 44 year career encompasses every genre of music from Artists such as Frankie Goes To Hollywood to the Guitar Trio.
As well as our SSL Duality Fuse 48-channel console and PMC monitoring, Winchester Audio Barn offers the very best of both modern and vintage equipment.
