I have been involved in the music business for over 40 years, as a piano and Leaving Cert music theory teacher, gig promoter, studio owner and music news writer. My studio closed in March 2020, after almost 20 years of producing some great music by talented singers and musicians from Mayo, Sligo and many other counties of Ireland. Read on for some information on what David Dwane Recording Studio a
chieved over the years since 2001:
"The studio offers an intimate recording setting, with top class microphones, Logic Pro X with multiple plug-ins, and Scarlett virtual mixing desk
"The value of a clean sound in a decent studio comes through...." says Jackie Hayden about David Dwane Recording Studio, writing in Hot Press Magazine
