I'd like to meet:

Testimonials Top studio. Top man. Recommended by other good bands that we know. A pleasure to work with you! - Jonny Brown (Twisted Wheel) The most enjoyable recording experience we've had to date! See you soon - The Twang (B Uniquie Records) Highly recommended! George is a top producer/engineer who can scale small buildings with just a single step, & you don't see that every day. We'll be back soon.- Keith (the band) All the tracks are sounding great George, we'll be back soon! - Neil Claxton (Mint Royale/Faith & Hope Records) Having worked with George extensively over the last 12 months, I have seen and appreciate his extreme dedication to both his work and his clients. These invaluable qualities and traits in a person of his age, are rarely seen these days, but the difference it makes to the client and the end product is immense. Although he is quieter than many of his compatriots, the depth of his knowledge, creativity and technique are unique. His ambition and drive to develop his craft skills inevitabley will power him to the top of his profession. It is with interest and excitement, that after 50 years in the audio industry, I have the opportunity to witness and marvel at his current career progression and expansion. John Wood (Media Production Consultant (BBC, BAE Systems) It was a pleasure working with you and we were all impressed at how quickly you understood the sound we were looking for and even more impressed that you managed to record and mix 6 tracks in 3 days (although you did work 24/7). After putting a few new tracks up on myspace we had 750 plays within a 12 hour period. Will definitely be back soon to record our remaining tracks for the album and will be recommending you to others. Will be sending demos out to industry contacts and will give you some feedback. Excellent studio, easy access location and top all-round bloke - Twisted Wheel George's ability to supply a relaxing vibe in the usual stressful recording environment whilst still retaining great performances from musicians really is the Ace up his sleeve. Couple that with a relentless ear for detail and unmatched passion for his art, it's not hard to see how everything he touches becomes sonic perfection of utopian proportion. We hope to be working with him again soon. Ash Wilson. (DJUNE) We had a great time recording with you, you truly have an ear for detail, the tracks are sounding marvellous. Take care and HAVE A DAY OFF! - Buen Chico George, the master we received was ace. Thank you for your efficient, professional service and your educated ear. We were blown away by the life you brought to the record. Even more impressive was the fact that you were not at all familiar with the material going into the session and yet you were able to capture the exact the feel.....- Ben @ Cuckundoo/Leaf Records Thanks for the fantastic job on the mastering of our 7" single 'Yuki. Your help & suggestions at the mix stage was much appreciated - Vessels Thanks for all the help on the re edits, they sounded the bomb with the 80 Hertz magic added - Bucky - Sankeys Soap Club Excellent studio, it's good to see a creative mind at the helm with keen attention to detail- Jamie Campbell (Crown Music Management & Hunky Dory Music Publishing) Loving that KEITH remix - totally better than their original version - sublime, educated, trippy - Fien:D I wouldn't go anywhere else! - Aron Paul George, was a pleasure working with you guys - Vijay Kishore
