***Shireshead Old Chuch is for sale***

With a mixture of sadness, pride and & excitement for our ongoing journey, Low Fold Audio are going to be leaving Shireshead Old Church.

Since taking-on this incredible building as our recording studio & main business-base some two decades ago, we’ve enjoyed some amazing success & have been proud to class the Old Church as our home.

Ownership of such a building, with it’s both it’s historical significance & it’s importance in the life of the local community, has been a lot of hard work, but also a privilege & a pleasure.

But after over twenty years, many things have changed in our industry & the business of operating a professional recording studio & the nature of our work & client-base has also changed.

The recording of large music projects is no-longer a part of our business, whilst advancements in pro-audio technology & infrastructure have meant that much of what we do can now be achieved from small premises, comprising of a couple of rooms at most.

With that in mind, we feel the time is right to hand-over the stewardship of Shireshead Old Church to new owners & as of January 2026 are placing the building on the market. This feels like the right time, with new owners who can continue to look after enjoy this wonderful building & its beautiful surroundings, whilst we open the next chapter in our business from a new base in Morecambe: a new state-of-the-art voiceover recording studio is up & running.

Our pro-audio equipment rental, sales & installation business will continue to operate from our premises on Caton Road, Lancaster, unchanged.

We’ll be sad to leave Shireshead, but are also excited about our business going forward & we’re looking forward to finding buyers for the Old Church who will enjoy this amazing building & location as much as we have.

If you’re interested in the potential that this incredible building has to offer, then please contact the commercial agents - Robert Pinkus & Co on 01772 769000 / [email protected]

**Shireshead Studio is for sale**

It’s with a tinge of sadness, but also the excitement of new challenges ahead, that we’d like to announce that Shireshead Old Church at Forton is for sale. We’ve been custodians of this amazing building for over two decades, but given a change to our work it’s really time give someone else the chance to take stewardship.

We’re no longer in the business of music & band recording: our day-to-day work consists of professional commercial voiceover production, which we now do from a new, smaller studio in Morecambe, as well as our PA equipment hire & live sound events work, which continue to run from our premises on Caton Road.

As such we feel the time is right to open a new chapter in the history of this amazing listed building, which we’ve put our heart & soul into for over 20 years.

NEW ALBUM 🎉🎉🎉
https://annaoakesmonger.bandcamp.com/album/to-all-the-futures

It’s been a long time since I recorded any music – some of these songs are more than 5 years old and feel like they’re from a different life. Some of them are new, or newer than covid, corbynism, and all the other ends of the world, anyway. It feels very weird to put them in the world but here they are.

Thanks to all my friends who gave me help or kicks up the ass to make this record. I haven’t done a single thing in my life without comrades. Half these songs are about you X
