Hugh Padgham Legendary record producer

Video interview with George Shilling

Hugh Padgham is possibly one of the few producer 'names' that members of the public would know, possibly due to the vast range of artists that he has worked with for the last thirty years. The catalogue is huge. From Genesis to McFly, Hugh Padgham still has a fresh and vital style that keeps him current and in demand.

Hugh Padgham - record producer - in his recording studio in London A brief round up of the artists that Hugh has worked with includes: David Bowie, The Bee Gee's, Paul McCartney, The Police, Genesis, McFly, Mansun, Sheryl Crow, Elton John, XTC and many, many more.

We managed to prize Hugh from behind his SSL console at his new private London studio to ask about his recent work and of course, how he created that trademark Phil Collins drum sound. After watching our video feature we are sure that you will agree that one of the reasons that Hugh Padgham remains firmly in demand is his relaxed and disarming personality that helps artists feel at ease and give their best in the studio environment.

We are delighted to bring this broadband video feature and would like to thank Giles Stanley for making this feature possible and George Shiling for his in depth questions!
