I am currently taking quotes from builders who can start NOW and build in super-quick time! If you're a local building company and think you can help, PLEASE get in touch ASAP. We are taking a few quote on Friday and don't want you to miss out! Any builders that offer us a good deal as Lottery Funded organistion will get their logo on all our branded stationary and on the website for a minimum of ONE YEAR!

I've been waiting ages to get started on this project and now we can finally start the build. This is going to be fun; we've got rough plans (see the AudioBeach Studios blog) and we're so excited to finally see these come to life.

We are getting professionals in to start the build; stud walls, floor levelling, electric and plumbing etc, but will be looking for volunteers to help with the post-build stuff like painting, flooring, and acoustic treatment. Everyone who helps out will be mentioned in our first report and on the website. We'll also give you a good deal on recording if you then come back to us with your band!

Also, I'm offering a pretty sweet competition for local bands (quote pulled from my own person blog):

"I am now on a mission to find the first band to record in my new studio, AudioBeach Studios, in October. I will record, mix and master two tracks FOR FREE for the right band. The right band will be talented, have a personality, be able to control their egos, have fresh ideas and, above all, be working really hard to get to where they want to be.

I’ll announce more info about my “Talent Search” later in October but start thinking now if you are the right band or if you know of the right band to benefit from a top-quality single/demo."

Watch this space for updates on the build; you can follow the studio on Twitter @AudioBeachUK or click the links next to this article.
