What we offer...​

Iris Music is a very intimate and friendly recording and production facility, based in Staffordshire.

We can record single vocalists / musicians on site - or we can also travel to a larger location and record any size of act.

This is then returned to the studio for full production using our comprehensive suite of equipment and plug-ins detailed below.

If you can't see what you are looking for, just give us a call on 07734 595227 or e-mail irismusic@btinternet.com to discuss your requirements.
