The early years:

Mayfair began in the Sixties at 64 South Molton Street in London's Mayfair. It was poor but amazingly successful.

We moved to beautiful Primrose hill in 1981. The week we moved from the old studio we had 5 records in the top 20 and it's been that way ever since

Why is Mayfair different?:

When Kate and John Hudson took over Mayfair, the studio had no money. Other studios had better equipment, and Mayfair had nothing unique to sell but their enthusiasm and attitude.

This was a lesson never to be forgotten. It has now become a way of life, and from the moment you walk through the door the first time you will notice the difference.

Everybody here cares, cares about your project, wants it to be successful. Wants you to walk out that door happy with your work, and with a hit record on the way,

front door!
Accommodation:

If you are coming from out of town and want to stay somewhere locally, there are some handy hotels and flats nearby within walking distance for that brisk morning walk.

We can confirm your hotel for you, even if it's only for one night, and get your bags delivered so you don't have the hassle of checking in by a certain time.
No turning up at midnight after an exhausting day in the studio to find they have not kept your room!

If a hotel is too impersonal and you want that extra privacy, then we can arrange a short term rental on an apartment somewhere in the area.

Right outside the studios is the lovely area of Primrose Hill with its many fine restaurants, wine bars, pubs and shops.

Office away from home:

As our office is entirely computerised it is no problem to help out with pre-recording budgets, monitoring of projects in progress, typing lyrics etc.

In fact full office facilities, fax machines, photocopier, internet and email are available and the staff are only too happy to be you office/home away from home.

you can also send and receive audio files via the internet.


Food for thought:

With all the hard work going on in the studio we at Mayfair feel it is very important for our clients to be able to relax out of the control room, and indulge themselves a little...

Throughout the day, (and night of course!!) there is a constant supply of fresh fruit, coffee, fruit juice, a selection of teas..and when the nibbles strike the cookie jar is full!

Eaten to much, got indigestion? a hangover? a touch of flu? Don't worry, our trusty medicine cupboard has a cure for all ills!

The buck stops here:

When your session has finished and you are thousands of miles away. What then?

When all the re-mixes have been done, and the final edited versions have been agreed, who will know what is what?

All your drives & tapes are logged on our computer tape library system. We know that supplying cd's of the right mix to A&R people is just as important as sending the right master to the cut.

And we are constantly shipping masters around the world through a network of international couriers and via the internet.

If a courier company can't get it there on time, we have been known to put our own people on a plane in order to deliver them on time!..

Its all part of the Mayfair service.
