I nice mention from Astralnaut . I really enjoyed working for these guys. It's nice getting an inside view from the band and I have to say they are the funniest 5 guys you could ever shove into a room. Had me in tears lol Think I peed just a little bit🤣 Great album, 👏👏

🤯We're overwhelmed with the response to our new album!🤯 We spent months/years writing and honing the music but we wouldn't be here today without help...

Our undying gratitude to James Wilson Studio 2 Recording/rehearsals
Not only for the recording but for the rehearsal/creative space that allows us to do what we do. When it came to recording and mixing, hours were spent and the album wouldn't sound as good without James's hard work and expertise.

Thank you to our guest vocalist, Kayleigh - Music on track 2. Adrift. Who was able to put her own creative flair into the song and push beyond what we had envisaged. Kayleigh was our first choice, listening to the track you know why. Amazing work Kayleigh, we can't thank you enough for your time, effort and talent! A pleasure to work with you.

We'd like to thank all band members, old and new, who jammed these songs as they were in formation. We play simply for the love of the music but meeting musical comrades along the way is a happy biproduct.

Thanks also to our wives, partners, families and friends who support us tirelessly in our tinnitus inducing passions!

Lastly, thank you to all the Astralnaut fans and everyone who's checked out the new album so far! We appreciate all the downloads, streams and shares!

Love & Respect, The Band;
Gaz, Jon, Tony, Glenn & Thomas

So I have kicked off the first 'Oily Rag Session' of 2024.
Thanks Gozer the Traveller for coming in for your session. Very tight band, made my job a lot easier :-)

For bands interested in getting on board here are the details..

It's £200 for first ten bands. After that £250.
It takes up to 12 hours.
4 hour set up/break down. 3 hour audio editing and 5 hours video uploading, editing.
Choose one song max 7 mins (shorter the better, less chance of mistakes ;-p)
There is an interview on the start to squeeze in as well.
If we have time left you can do another song..or even two as 'B sides' which can be released at a later date if requested for £100 per track as it still needs audio and video editing (5h vid and 2h audio edit)
I have no 'The Oily Rag Sessions' FB page as of yet so contact me through the studio page or PM.
Cheers James

This is the first Oily Rag Music session, Episode 1.Any bands looking to book a session can contact me via Facebook message.https://www.facebook.com/Studio2R...

Hi guys, that time of year again. Any bands that don't use facilities need to lift their gear or it will be moved out to the unocked open shed. Running out of room. Thanks for support.
