Congratulations to our friends over at Untapped Talent Recording & Rehearsal Studios on 22 years of hard work and service providing a place for bands to both practice, but more so get their songs recorded with some seriously talented people and great gear.

🥂Here's to many more Matt O'Donnell

🎶 22 YEARS OF UNTAPPED TALENT! 🎶

Today marks our 22nd anniversary since we started this journey all the way back in 2004!

A huge thank you, as always, to everyone who has visited our studios over the years and to all those who will visit us in the future too.

We are incredibly proud to still be established as one of the top studios in the South, and we continue to grow, develop and build on what we do every year.

Twenty-two years is a true testament to the quality, passion and dedication we put into our work here at Untapped Talent. We genuinely love every minute of it, and we couldn’t have reached this milestone without all of you.

Here’s to the next 22 years!

Well last week was crazy.
So much so we didn’t have time to unpack and talk about an awesome box from our new friends down the road in Poole, Sontronics microphones.
We are proud to say we are now stocking the Sontronics SOLO microphones. The are truly amazing microphones in every way. Clean, clear, articulate vocal response in a comfortable rugged body.
Ohhh and all this for a microphone with a LIFETIME WARRANTY and build here in the UK on the Southcoast.

If you would like to know any details on these please get in touch or pop in store to try one out. You will not be disappointed.

We have been out since Christmas but 12 just about to go live on our website, with 10 more due on another van today or tomorrow.

But with over 100 people on the mailing list awaiting these guitars, I don’t think they are going to hang around.
