The team
Quality and consistency is key at Outhouse Studios. The team is at the top of their game – you are guaranteed the same level of service whether this is your first time in a recording studio, or if you are a seasoned recording artist.
John Mitchell
John has over 20 years’ experience in recording, producing and mixing music. From his early days with a music scholarship at school, to touring the world as a guitarist and frontman, his musical knowledge and expertise is second-to-none. He has trained up several apprentices who have gone on to set up their own studios, but his approach and ethos to getting the best out of a band remains unique and unrivalled. He looks a bit like Billy Bob Thornton or him out of the Stereophonics.
Simon Jackman
Simon is a talented multi-instrumentalist (keys, bass, drums, vocals and guitar) and came to the studio several years ago to record with his band We Caught The Castle, and hasn’t really left since then! His role as Assistant Engineer and Producer has seen him spearheading many of the recent recording projects at Outhouse. He has a great rapport with our clients, and looks a little bit like Mel from Flight of the Conchords.
