Spent 8 hours with Tom on Saturday and his knowledge and skillset is out of this world. He listens to what you want and need and then delivers over and over. If you want a studio that is going to help you improve, move forward or just have great fun then this is the place to be. No ego here just sensible talented support, just don't listen to his advice on where the cafe is :) 5 Stars from me and I can't wait for my next session. #BestInEssex

Pure class, he really knows what you want, and delivers. I came a month ago, I booked again, and I'm sure I'll be in his Studio for another session very soon. Such great talent. Don't hesitate and book a session :-)

I presented Tom with a reference track or two and headed in to the studio record my track. He was presented by quite a number of unrehearsed musicians from drums to horns. Within a couple of live takes and some post production he didn't have us 'somewhere in the ball park' - his recording was actually comparable to the funk stax reference tracks i provided. Loved the snare reamping. Cant wait to release track. Used Tom a few times since..
