Hook End underwent massive refurbishment
just a few years ago with the control room and studio being tastefully re-decorated
and features one of the UK's largest SSL console - 96
channel J Series frame with 80 modules fitted. Watch
the high resolution version of this video around the studio grounds and house and watch a low rez video
pan around the room.
For around ten years Hook End was owned by Trevor Horn. He described the studio as the finest residential studio anywhere in a video with recorded by us with Trevor talking about the studio.
There's
nothing missing in the racks and the studio's got stacks
of analogue and digital multi-tracks. But that's
enough about gadgets, what makes the studio special
to work in is the huge amount of space, both the control
room and studio areas are vast.
There
is no doubt, the technical and acoustic specs are among
the best in the world.
If
space is what you want, this place has got it.
If you are in to nature, the huge grounds feature
one of the largest monkey puzzle trees in the UK and
the gardens are right out of a feature film
Best
of all, the accommodation is simply superb. Take
your choice from a wide range of original rooms, some
designed by Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd- a previous owner).
Our favorite is the World War II vibe room, no doubt
influenced by Roger Waters. There are numerous
relaxation rooms where the mega star can entertain in
suitable style.
The
food is excellent and the staff are top rate.
All in all, you couldn't hire a decent top hotel suite
in London for the same money - and you get one of the
world's top studios thrown in too. We're blown
away and you will be too!
Special
thanks to Trevor Horn for his feature and to Mark at Hook End for making the new feature possible.
