THE WOOL HALL

Luke has decamped from East London to set up in the prestigious Wool Hall Studios.  The Chapel-esque building dates back to 1580 when it served as a space to exhibit wool in the village of Beckington, just outside Frome, Somerset.  

Tears for Fears bought the buildings in the ‘80s & it was here that they recorded their 1985 US Number One album, “Songs From The Big Chair,” including the singles “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” and “Shout.”  Van Morrison also recorded many albums at the Wool Hall and later owned the Studio for 10 years.  The studio was also used by the likes of Joni Mitchell, The Cure, Paul Weller, David Sylvian, The Stereophonics, The Pretenders, and The Smiths recorded their final album “Strangeways, Here We Come” in 1987.

You can feel the history here in the walls. With many future projects and collaborations on the horizon, The Wool Hall’s iconic musical past is set to continue.
