Recording at the Glens Centre

The Origins of the recording facilities at The Glens Centre began with the guidance of legendary guitarist Steve Cooney.

With capacity building funding from the Arts Council, our facilities include a soundproof control room for recording, post-production & radio production along with an acoustically treated live room. A list of equipment is available on our recording equipment page.

Here are just a few of the projects we have assisted in the past:
