Studios change hands

TWO NEW Christian-based studios have opened. One of East London's best-known studio complexes has changed hands. The premises - nine recording and rehearsal studios and cafe - has been taken over by former Voice newspaper marketing director and author of Channel Four's recent book Too Close To Heaven, Viv Broughton, who has brought in gospel promoter Del White as studio manager. They plan to offer special rates for gospel artists at The premises Studios, which have been used extensively by artists like Blur, Phil Collins, Suede and the London Community Gospel Choir.

The second studio which recently threw open its doors is Redland Studios in Bristol. Their stated aim is to "bring Christian musicians together to provide as strong a force as possible for creativity, fellowship and prayer." Artists who have so far used the new 24 track digital facility are Gethsemane Rose (working on their new M-Ocean alternative worship project), Alias, Phatfish, Umbrella, Strange Blue World, Marc 'The Flood' Cooper and S'dANCE.
