MIKE WEST
OUR LADY STUDIO
Our Lady Studio is Mike West's recording and production facility in North Wales. The studio has a spacious live room, an excellent range of equipment and, best of all, is only one block from the beach. Mike is known for a relaxed production approach that favors musicians over machines. He strives to capture strong live performances and to develop arrangements that enhance but don’t overwhelm the songs. Mike has produced songwriters, jazz, bluegrass, folk, country and punk rock for over twenty five years.
