A very shiny disc to commemorate sales over 100,000 copies. It has pride of place in our snooker room.

We like to be involved with helping make music that charts, and the Pigeon Detectives did that, with their album recorded here, hitting no.5 in the UK album charts. Emergency released in 2008 was recorded here with producer Stephen Street. The Detectives began tracking immediately after new year, the album was finished by early Feb – the joy of a residential recording meant they simply “decamped” (their words not ours) and got it wrapped up in a short space of time.
