Making “Sound” Change in Hackney, London
The Premises Studios in East London, opened over 21 years ago, is one of the most popular music studios with state-of-the-art equipment that offer musicians and up-and-coming bands affordable space to rehearse and record. Many big names have passed through these old doors, including Nina Simone and Lily Allen.
But more than just a place to jam, the studios offer charity in the form of a various educational programs, running various courses and workshops for musicians of varying abilities. The idea here? To make music and musical training affordable and easy for would-be musicians in need.
The programs also offer specific training in the use of sound equipment.

As if that weren’t enough, they’re a “green” studio, professionally solar-powered, producing energy from photovolataic panels on the roof. In addition, they refurbished the building using reclaimed and recycled materials.
One building - long-standing, creatively productive, community-based and green. If all of our buildings could sing the same song!
