The Works Recording Studio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Works Recording Studio is a recording studio located in Stockport, South Manchester, UK. Built in 1998 in a Victorian rectory it was originally an analogue studio used by unsigned bands and fading stars of Manchesters rich musical scene including ex-members of The Smiths and The Stone Roses. In 2001 it installed a Pro Tools system, and has since recorded albums for bands such as Amplifier, Oceansize, and Performance. In 2005 there was a bizarre 3 a.m. appearance by U.S. rap star Snoop Dogg who visited the studio after playing a concert, bringing an entourage of musicians, enormous bodyguards and a chef. Recently the studio has branched out into making music videos.
