This week we're focussing on Echotown Studio, in Bridport Road, Dorchester.

Founded by singer-songwriter Nick Capaldi and his wife Grace, this purpose-built recording studio offers an incomparable, eclectic mix of the best of both modern and vintage pro audio.

Much of the equipment at the studio has a remarkable history including an Otari 24 track tape machine that was last used by Tom Jones with producer Ethan Johns; a Fender Bassman rig that belonged to Mani from the Stone Roses; a Hohner Clavinet D6 played by Stevie Wonder; and a very rare Baldwin Electric Harpischord that used to have a home at London's renowned Olympic studios and many more.

The studio is inclusive and comfortable for all who hire it. Nick and Grace promise their studio will make anyone who visits feel relaxed and confident which, in turn, will allow their creative juices to flow.
