A new creative hub - including state-of-the-art recording studios, bar and events space - has opened in Altrincham town centre.
Fusion Creative Studios has been launched by Jack Richardson, who has spent a year renovating the three-storey space on George Street.
It will be used both as an event space and also a high-spec recording studio, production suite and podcast studio, available for hire.
Inside Fusion Creative Studios on George Street
Described as a "truly unique creative concept" and a first for Greater Manchester, Fusion's recording studios are already booked up for the whole of November.
The creative team based at Fusion includes multi-platinum music producers, Grammy-winning audio engineers and multi-genre composers and artists, with a portfolio that includes collaborations with the likes of Beyoncé, Kanye West and Ed Sheeran.
The ground floor bar and venue, meanwhile, is available to host a diverse range of events and experiences, including live music, immersive DJ sets, performance art and intimate theatre productions.
Richardson, who grew up in Altrincham, won Trafford’s Composer Of The Year title at the age of just 12 and has since made music and samples for some of the UK’s biggest artists and producers, working for the likes of Warner Music, BBC and ITV.
He said: "I’m so proud of how this idea has developed into a busy creative hub.
"We’ve got three custom-designed, private and secure studios on the first floor with some amazing award-winning audio gear that I could have only dreamed about when I was younger.
"I remember what it was like to produce music without the budget for professional studio time or mixing and mastering - this is why we’re offering monthly studio sessions completely free of charge to individuals who can’t afford access to a pro studio."
He added: "We’re open after a year of renovations and I’ve been constantly told how good the venue looks and sounds from locals throughout the process which really fuels me.
"If anyone has any events, performances or ideas that require a top-spec venue or studio, get in touch - I’m open to (almost) everything! I can’t wait to see you all creating, recording, designing or shaking a leg at Fusion Creative Studios!"
