"The Regent Sounds recording studio on Tin Pan Alley in London was famously used by Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones between the 1960s and early 1980s. Now, having been walled up and lain silent for decades, it is being brought back to life through a multimillion-pound investment that will turn it into a landmark site for rock'n'roll, jazz and blues,"
"An archive of memorabilia has been unearthed and historic items will be shown in exhibitions at the site on Denmark Street, nicknamed Tin Pan Alley as a historic hub for music publishers, instrument shops and songwriters since the early 20th century. Exhibits will include T-Bone Walker's fabled 1949 Gibson guitar the instrument that kickstarted the music revolution of the 1950s, inspiring countless artists from Chuck Berry and BB King to Keith Richards."
Regent Sounds studio on Denmark Street (Tin Pan Alley) hosted major artists including Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones between the 1960s and early 1980s. The long-walled and silent studio is being restored through a multimillion-pound investment that preserves original walls, floor tiles and recording equipment. An archive of memorabilia has been unearthed and will be displayed in exhibitions, including T-Bone Walker's 1949 Gibson guitar. The on-site Regent Sounds guitar shop has been quadrupled in size with soundproof booths and reopens after almost £6m investment. Studio refurbishment work has yet to begin and is likely to finish within a year. The Beatles recorded "Fixing a Hole" there in 1967.
