Recording Engineer Edd Hartwell

We met up with ex-SARM Studios engineer Edd Hartwell at George Shilling’s studio to chat about his recording methods and we were keen to find out how serving an apprenticeship under such legends as Trevor Horn and Steve Lipson has shaped his career so far.

Edd started his musical career playing guitar and saxophone in bands until a love of recording studios and sound engineering was discovered. Edd has worked with the likes of Tony Visconti, Guy Massey, Stephen Lipson, Jim Abbiss and Trevor Horn on a regular basis, racking up UK number 1 albums and a Grammy nomination for best engineered album. Credits include The Noisettes, Ed Sheeran, Jeff Beck, The Kooks, The Prodigy, Kt Tunstall and Yes, amongst others.

Stuart Bruce began his recording career at London’s SARM studios under the tuition of legendary engineers Gary Langan and Julian Mendelsohn. He worked as an assistant with artists such as Dollar, ABC, Malcolm McLaren, The Undertones, Monsoon, Echo and the Bunnymen, Simple Minds, Tears for Fears, The The, Nik Kershaw, the Belle Stars, Spandau Ballet and Trevor Horn’s own band The Buggles.

Since then, Stuart has had an amazing recording career, highlights include recording the Band Aid single. We met up with Stuart at his private recording studio near Bath, England, and as there was so much ‘interesting stuff’ we have kept the feature quite long – we think it’s well worth watching all the way as it’s the only way to find out who Status Quo locked in the toilet by watching all the way through…..

Many thanks to Stuart for his time and to George Shilling for asking the questions

We really loved his studio and you can look at and buy our full quality photos in this gallery here.
