  2008 was the year where "The Smokehouse" finally lost its reputation of the best kept secret in town. Multiple visits from The Kooks as well as Klaxons (who moved in for 6 months) left little time for anything else.

  However, we did manage squeeze in Primal Scream, The Magistrates and a whole album from Cream side kick Pete Brown and his writing Partner Phil Ryan (Ex Mann Band). We also did a number of media sessions which included all music by Daniel Pemberton for Xmas special "Clash of the Santas" featuring a 10 piece Lapland gypsy Santa band live to the pictures.

  2009 has started with Visits from Joby Talbot and the Malchicks, featuring a guest appearance from Dick Taylor of the Pretty Things.

  On the gear front the mic stock has almost doubled and we have gained access to the Cote Basque vintage instrument stock. See the new lists for more details.

  
  

  Coming late April 2009 The return to the road of the LMS The Ronnie Lane Mobile Studio

  The LMS was founded in 1972, when Ronnie Lane (The Small Faces and The Faces) imported a 1968 Airstream Trailer from the USA. From the very first year of operation the LMS was responsible for some of the most successful and influential recordings in rock music's history.

• The best kept secret in town.

  Smokehouse Studios is located on the boundary of the City of London, 700 metres from Towerhill Station (circle and district lines). From here it is just 10 minutes west by tube to Covent Garden, and north by foot to Brick Lane.

  Smokehouse Studios prides its reputation as ‘the favoured recording space’ of its clientele. Smokehouse Studios caters for a varied client base. The main 900 sqft recording space boasts maple flooring, daylight and is coupled by cutting edge and vintage technology. Two vocal booths allow for the separation of instrumentalists, making Smokehouse Studios the perfect place for sessions of up to 16 musicians. We have an expanding collection of steam driven vintage instruments: including a Yamaha C3 Grand piano, Hammond A100 and a Leslie and Wurlitzer electric piano.

  Parking at Smokehouse Studios is unlimited, at £7 per day it is a fraction of the cost of Central London. Additionally Smokehouse Studios lies just outside the Congestion Charging Zone. With both tube and DLR within 5 minutes walking distance, Smokehouse Studios can be accessed easily from London and beyond.

  Smokehouse Studios is just minutes from an array of restaurants, pubs and clubs. Two doors away from Mango’s Indian bar and club and within walking distance of Fish and Chips, Pizza Express and El’ Bordello; one of the best Italian restaurants in London. Smokehouse Studios is just a short walk from Brick Lane, famous for Indian cuisine and 24 hour Bagels. In the immediate vicinity Smokehouse Studios offers two pubs, 24 hour McDonalds and off licence with cash machine.

Full client list coming soon.
