Beehouse Open Mic Returns

In 2011- 12 , the Beehouse recording studio ran a series of Open Mic nights in the local area for recording clients and the general public. If you haven’t performed much in public then this is a great opportunity for you! Open Mic nights provide a great night's entertainment and a welcome audience for both seasoned performers and newcomers . The Talent Nights are available to a growing number of talented individuals, including singer songwriters, cabaret artists, bands of all descriptions, solo musicians and much more!

We are hoping to do several open mic nights throughout the year and if you are interested or you know someone who might be interested then please contact the studio or simply turn up on the night. You can keep up to date with the latest news on Facebook & Twitter and to find out more about the studio or the open mic nights then please visit our website.

Beehouse & Song Galaxy

Happy New Year to everyone from all of us here at the recording studio! The Beehouse is already steaming into the New Year and there is plenty of exciting news coming in the next few days, weeks and months! The Beehouse Recording Studio is well known for its professional facilities and high quality vocal recording which leads us on to the studio's next challenge & project involving Song Galaxy.




Who are Song Galaxy and what do they have to do with the Beehouse? Established in the late '90s, Song Galaxy has well over a decade of experience in the music industry, and provides high quality, professional backing tracks and software tools to musicians, bands and singers. The company is located in Edinburgh, but both backing tracks and software are available for immediate download anywhere in the world. They have over 10000 Audio Backing Tracks and 20000 MIDI-files, from Rock classics to Country favourites, plus the hottest current Chart songs, which are all available from their online shop.

Over recent years, Song Galaxy has become a preferred supplier of backing tracks to the Beehouse, and good relations have been established between them on a variety of levels. This year the studio has been selected to provide vocals for a series of high quality backing tracks and multi tracks. The Beehouse recording studio and studio artists are very much looking forward to the prospect of working on this project with Song Galaxy.

The Beehouse is currently working with a number of local vocalists on this and other projects, and it is a realistic possibility that talented vocalists who attend the studio for a recording day may be contacted for other work as the output of the studio and its reputation continue to grow.

Caroline Peel - 'With You'

On Friday the 2nd of November we welcomed back Caroline Peel to The Beehouse. She has been busy writing new songs and she is at the studio today to record her latest track 'With You'.



Her latest track is being recorded at The Beehouse studio over the next couple of days and both the staff and Caroline are very excited about the new song. A live version of the song was uploaded to Youtube and received over 10,000 views in less than 48 hours. Caroline is hoping to release the song in the coming month and the track will soon be available for download at Noochoon.

Caroline Peel is a singer/songwriter originally from West Wales. She currently studies Performing Arts at the Italia Conti Academy Theatre of Arts in London. Her music style is somewhat kooky and quirky and could be looked upon as being unique. She has been writing music for around 6 years and in 2011 she released her debut album 'Our Ammunition'. Caroline has been coming to The Beehouse since she was 11 years old and she has never looked back since.

Caroline undoubtedly has a promising career ahead of her and we wish here all the best for the future.

Lorraine Lionheart at The Beehouse

Lorraine Lionheart is a young female singer/songwriter who is originally from Botswana but is now based in the UK. She started singing at a very early age of 4. She stopped singing for a very long time due to a lack of confidence but after realising she had the ability and skills to write and compose she gained more and more confidence. As she gained confidence, she uncovered a raw talent – The ability to sing and write her own music. As a singer, she is very unique and has an outstanding voice which she can adapt to sing a wide range of styles.
On Wednesday the 10^th of October she came to The Beehouse recording studio to record and finalise her two newest songs which she had written herself. Phil and Lorraine Lionheart have been working very hard to produce two brilliant tracks and they are hoping to release them as soon as possible. The tracks will soon be available to download at Noochoon . We caught up with Lorraine Lionheart while she was in the studio recording her new material:
Who are your inspirations and who would you most like to be compared to? I have lots of people/artists who inspire me! Musically I would love to be as good as Miriam Makeba or Angelique Kidjo
What is your project about?
What is your impression of The Beehouse?? ‘I like The Beehouse studio. I feel like they understand the style of music that I wanted to perform and they always ensure that I’m happy with the final product. They are easy going and laid back yet very professional. They have been very patientto get the tracks to how I wanted them. I’m very happy and I will continue to do more songs here. Here at The Beehouse we welcome new artists with open arms. Lorraine Lionheart has made 3 appearances here at the studio and she never failed to impress. We are looking forward to working with her again very soon.

Caroline Peel Records Debut Album at The Beehouse Over the last few weeks we have been enjoying the talents of singer songwriter Caroline Peel at the Beehouse. Caroline has been recording a putting together the last tracks on her debut album - Our Ammunition and appears just on the brink of a fantastic career.

A formidable talent with fantastically precise and well-conceived vocal lines Caroline is currently living in London where she is studying at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.
Caroline has been coming to The Beehouse since she was 11 years old. She is now 19. With a crystal clear tone and never a need for tuning, Caroline lays down all vocals impeccably first time, which makes our job much easier of course.



Caroline has written the tracks for this album herself, with production carried out by Lane and Lane. Check out Caroline's finished tracks so far on her new website
Tracks range in style from dubstep to cutting edge electronic pop, supported by incisive futuristic lyrics and retro harmonies combined with fresh up-to-the-minute production focus and include " Love Again ", " Raindrops ", " Our Ammunition ", " Human Satellites " and " Broken Hearts and Shattered Dreams ".

Caroline's website was designed by Beehouse, our in-house web design company.

Perfect Love Song for a Brave New World

Molan Spectrum have been on the move again. "Perfect Love Song" is a brand new track, written by Jan Mosiewicz, produced by Lane and Lane at the Beehouse and finally remixed by the Thin Red Men, incorporating the powerful and perfect voice of Molan's latest star, Laura.



With its own very current video, the Beehouse is expecting the track to do well in its radio and TV campaign launched last week. At 17, Laura is a girl of many talents - brave enough to sing to the Pope, in Birmingham in front of an audience of 55,000, and also daring enough to take on and make her own a number of Molan Spectrum tracks.

Perfect Love Song can be purchased on Noochoon in any of its variations - Club, Dub, Radio etc.
