TESTIMONIALS

What people are saying about us

A real pleasure to see inside a world class recording studio. The guide was great and took time to answer all questions. We walked from Trinity College, Dublin to the Studio which took us about 30 minutes. We arrived a few minutes early which gave us time to read about the memorabilia hanging on the walls.

Pretty awesome experience! You’ll get an understanding of how everything works, get to hear stories and see the studio where countless artists have recorded their songs (The Cranberries, The Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, U2…)

I was going because my dauther wanted to go – I agree to keep her company. Had no idea about recording or wasnt much into music. But that tour has exceeded my expectations – It was great day and I think I would like to visit again!

CSmyth – Trip Advisor

Recently brought a group of TY students to the studio tour and can’t recommend it enough! Niall was excellent at making all aspects of the tour accessible to both music and non music students. The tour was very interactive and one student had the trip highlight of playing the studio’s Steinway piano. Will definitely be making this an annual trip in our school calendar.

A Dublin ‘Must Do’! We visited the studio not really knowing what to expect but we had our eyes (and ears) opened by how many world renowned artists had recorded there. We also found that a lot of film scores and movie and video scenes had been filmed inside the building. The tour covers all areas of the recording process and we would definitely recommend a visit.

Sandy A – Trip Advisor

Mind blown. Cannot recommend a tour of Windmill Lane (the home of cool in Dublin in my opinion) highly enough. Just to walk the halls and spend time in studios where legends recorded iconic grammy award winning albums is surely an unparalleled thrill for any music fan. The gang are so welcoming and informative it was an exhilarating experience from beginning to end.
100000% recommend 🙂
