La'al Cabin Studio Aug 27, 2025

Cabin

Record your songs with me in my...

La’al Cabin Studio

(La'al [Larl] - meaning small, little, petite, bijou in Cumbrian dialect)

Are you an acoustic artist? Maybe in a duo or trio, or more? A songwriter/performer/band of acoustic instruments & percussion?(Although I can record electric guitars & basses too.)

I can record your songs plus mixing & basic mastering in my purpose built studio here in the south of the Lakes. I use a Myrtle mic for that authentic sound favoured by folk, roots and bluegrass players.

So I can capture your unique performance in one go or I can do overdubs as you build your song.

If you would like to work with me please get in touch with Me for a chat...

I recorded the whole of FOLKLORE using the Myrtle mic - instruments, percussion and vocals. I produced, edited & mixed the tracks before handing them over to Andris Kiss to master - although I can master your songs if required.

I have other studio mics if you would rather have a dedicated mic set up. Plus I have many other percussion instruments if you'd like to add to your track.

As part of the La'al Cabin experience I can add instrumentation in the form of guitar, mandolin, mandola, banjo and bass if required. We can chat about what may enhance your track(s) without distracting from your own sound.

Session: I can record guitar, bass, mandolin, mandola, banjo & shruti drone parts remotely in my home studio for your own project and send them to you. I can come to you depending on location.
