MPM RECORDS are able to
provide parking directly outside the studio door in a fully enclosed complex guarded by
security cameras.
Although the main studio does not have any set opening times, there are no restrictions
imposed on them and we are happy to arrange start and finish times to suit our clients needs,
day or night, although occasionally we do like to sleep. :o)
The studio features a large lounge for relaxing in, complete with drinks dispenser for hot
and cold drinks and microwave oven. Being situated within a busy town centre, there is easy
access to supermarkets, restaurants, take-aways and pubs, alternatively we are always happy
to arrange for delivery of pizzas or Indian food.
For those longer recording sessions, Hotels and Guest Houses are available within a few
minutes drive of the studio, which is fitted with a monitored alarm system and security
cameras. Although we feel reasonably confident that equipment can be safely left on the
premises, we must emphasise that this is at the owner's risk.
