If you like music, a good place to go... and even if you don't! - It was a wonderful experience visiting the studios. You can visit the control room and recording areas guided by very nice staff (ask for Maeve!) that are very fun and knows about the history, specs, equipment and the artists have been there. Don't miss the chance. Thank you guys. Greetings from Mexico

Wonderful, insightful tour of how music is recorded - Myself and my husband visited the Windmill recording studio and we were so impressed with how much we enjoyed it. Maeve, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and friendly and she took us through the whole recording process and answered all our questions. She made everyone there feel so welcome. Loved writing our names on the wall, felt very privileged. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Windmill Lane Live From The Mixing Desk - Windmill Lane Recording Studios visit has been a really huge experience, where our guide Maeve has been both professional and friendly, explaining us everything about past and present of the studios.
She lead us through the studios and had us involved in practices of mixing on the desks.
It’s a visit I deeply recommend to everybody!

A must see. - Being a musician, finally visiting this building was special. Any musician, or music fan should should stand where Charlie Watts recorded his drums.
Marie was wonderful.

Insight into the world of music recording - A super exciting and very charming tour through the world of music recording. An astonishing number of artists have recorded their works in the studio or at least had them edited. The many Gramys certificates hanging on the wall bear witness to this.
A must for U2 fans. But all other music fans will also get their money's worth here.

Icons of music thru the decades in our capital - What a wonderful tour. I didn’t realise the history we had in our capital in relation to the recording of music and the icons of our music industry who have recorded their beautiful songs within this historic building. What a great way to experience how music is made and produced. Thank you so much Marie for sharing Emily and I had a wonderful time. We loved your wall of names. You should definitely print that to sell
