About the Studios

Northern Rooms Manchester Studios is set a short walk from Piccadilly with treated spaces, tidy gear storage, and a calm, practical layout. Rooms are tuned for practice and compact recording work—clear signage, straightforward house amps, and neat cable runs.

Sessions follow a simple plan agreed when you book. You can rehearse, track live takes, or run writing days. The team keeps things moving and helps you settle in, so you can focus on the take rather than the setup.
