River Recording Studio: Rehearsal Rooms, Singing, Drum & Guitar Lessons in Southampton 32 Winsor Road, Totton, Lyndhurst SO40 9HQ

"facilities in this place are amazing, could not fault them one bit. the rehearsal rooms are lovely and very efficient. it is just a shame that our band was hit with a little backlash from the sound tech we had at the weekend. not only saying nasty things about our bassist but also agreeing with some man who called me a c*nt when I asked them to stop being disrespectful when I was talking. not very professional in my opinion, and then blaming everyone else but themselves when things went wrong. it was not very welcoming and made us all feel so uncomfortable. we have played here before and we had such an amazing night, just sucks that it was ruined by one single thing happening which has made us very hesitant to come back to play here again :( Rehearing studios will be handy, though; we will for sure come and use them if we are in the area again!"

"River studios and all its staff have been nothing but fantastic for my whole family I can’t thank them enough…it’s a friendly comfortable very special place where you can be yourself and are encouraged to be creative and exceed your talents and goals. My daughter especially enjoyed her singing lessons with Crystal cooper a teacher there that is very talented and inspires many. She’s a bubbly happy exciting artist that made our 12 year old motivated and come alive at the mic, if your after singing I recommend her 100%"

"The studio is excellently equipped, would definitely hold out for the Black Room if you can. A pleasure to record, good communication before and after and most importantly, the songs sound exactly how I want them to. Can't wait to get back there. Now travel several hours to make it back when I can. Previously, I'd tried several recording studios over the last 10 years with satisfactory results from lowish expectations. Always quite transactory, felt a bit amateurish, sounded ok. Ed Oberon at River drastically exceeded these experiences. A genuinely inspirational pleasure to record with, I feel so lucky to have worked with him on three different contrasting musical projects over the last 14 months. Always far above and beyond what he could reasonably have been expected to do. Edits are never too much time, so many great ideas and so much support during and after recording. Can't wait to go back!"
