The Dugout studios is a rehearsal and recording facility located in Fort Fareham. We have five rehearsal rooms open seven days a week 10am to 10pm. Hire rates vary according to the size of room at £8 to £10 per hour. Discount of 25% is available weekday daytimes between 10am and 6pm.

The Dugout recording studio has been visited recently by old friends the Aviators, who are sounding at their best having recorded 4 new songs. Other Dugout favorites and Electric Proms winners Hijera have been recording new material. And...all the way from Newquay, surf rockers Chig Wah came in with their unique blend of rock/punk and D&B rythms coutesy of drummer Will Parker. Goffman have just finished their new album, they "sound like Gods" apparently. Echobeat came in to demo some new songs and recorded live which turned out really well.

Check out the jukebox which has been loaded with four new tracks from some of the above bands.

On a seasonal note Ron Hughs recorded some Christmas carols on banjo for a book he has written which includes all the songs as tabs and on an included cd. If anyone is interested in a copy get in touch with the studio.

We hope our tenth year will be as busy and exciting as the last and thank all our customers past, present and future.

Have a very happy New Year.
