George Shilling - Record Producer with great studio, Bank Cottage.

Browse our picture archives of George Shilling here in our gallery.

This feature has been a long time overdue as George Shilling has been helping record many of our producer features for the site since way back in 1999.

George recently built his own music studio which will feature in the video but in a shameless plug for his fab studio 'Bank Cottage' the studio offers a large selection of instruments, Pro Tools HD, a large enough recording space to record a band and excellent acoustics. There are few projects that can't be recorded or mixed here save an orchestra.

Bank Cottage has a large air conditioned control room with daylight flooding in and there is also a separate acoustically isolated drum room with window. A lot of attention to good mains power is evident with heavy duty mains wiring and separate earth spike. The control room has tea-making and fridge with easy loading directly from driveway and there is parking for up to five cars. If you want to stay for longer periods there is a great local B&B at only £25 with full English breakfast, lunch & dinner by Radiohead’s studio chef for only £20 per day per person!

A full list of George's credits follow at the foot of the page but some notable productions that George has been involved with include Blur, Texas, Mike Oldfield, Eternal, Boy George, James Brown, Mark Almond and strangely, Jean-Paul Gautier! That's a pretty diverse spread.

George Shilling started his career in studios at the legendary Livingston Studios in London learning a lot from World renowned producer and engineer Jerry Boys and many other leading producers.

In addition to being a producer, George writes for magazines such as Resolution, has his own band, runs a studio and records many of our features.
