Holly Cottage Studios
Located in the beautiful Royal Forest Of Dean our new recording studio has been built and is the most inspirational place to play and record music.we are situated in the middle of the forest surrounded by 1000’s of acres of larch, birch and Oak trees.
We have made the Studio soundproof to make sure we do not disturb the locals, and the wildlife. It is a real privilege to be able to work on my music in such an idyllic area, a lot of time for contemplation, and a real chill out place to arrange music.
The Studio is kitted out with the latest recording gear and of course, the Yamaha CVP 709, a truly remarkable instrument. we hope you enjoy our new albums and embrace the different sound that we are producing.
Blitz Time Sally-Sally Holiday
Sally has been called a vocal chameleon. People regularly comment on her broad vocal range and how she can adapt to suit the style of music. Comments are frequently made by new listeners that they have mistaken her live performance for a CD playing.
Sally is involved in numerous projects such as War time and old film song solo performances (which has become her main income), an operatic duo, medieval/rock acoustic duo, a Metal band and a Goth band. She also does vocal session work which can vary hugely in style.
Her work has taken her on European tours and major festivals. It was during a performance at a Christmas event that Sally met Jon Canning and was thrilled to be introduced to his music and asked to accompany him on his new work. She looks forward to delving into another style to add to her collection.
