That’s Sarm way to say goodbye

Legends ... Bob Marley and, right, Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones

 

 

A PIECE of music history is being re-written as Sarm Studios goes through a multi-million pound makeover. 

 

The building will be unrecognisable once the five studios are reconstructed into two which will be state-of-the-art.
The property in Notting Hill, west London, has been used over the years by the likes of Take That, Blur and Bob Marley.
Owner, producer Trevor Horn, plans to build the new studios using money from redeveloping part of the building into mews houses and apartments, including the church that housed the organ used by George Michael on his song Faith.
Reggae legend Bob lived in an upstairs flat at the studios for a year in the Seventies, at the same time that the Rolling Stones were recording there.
Queen laid down We Are The Champions on site too, and The Clash, Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin also made some of their best music at Sarm.

Through the ages ... The Prodigy's Liam at work at Sarm

Trevor's daughter Ally Horn said: "We're hoping Sarm will be born again for the digital age, so we can cater for the next generation. We've always been cutting edge and it's about keeping up with that."
Notting Hill should prepare for some pilgrimages from long-haired musos.
