Laurie Latham - Record producer feature at Helicon Mountain Studios
Laurie has been producing records since the mid 70's but he looks and acts much younger than he must be. Some of Laurie's work is iconic, for example Ian Dury's 'Sex and drugs and rock and roll' is a classic. Laurie worked on the classic Paul Young album 'No Parlez', he has worked with Squeeze, The Police, The Stranglers, Cher, Sinead O'Connor, Paul McCartney, Robie Williams, Jamiraquai, Feeder, Dionne Warwick, Beverly Knight, Bono etc etc.
In late June 2008 we met up with Laurie Latham at the fabulous Helicon Mountain Studios in London. The studio owned by legendary musician Joolz Holland is gorgeous, it's superbly equipped with an SSL G Series console, loads of great outboard, mics and has a fantastic live room. We tried during the photo shoot to capture some of its charm.
We have listed off a good selection of his landmark productions below but in a nut shell, Laurie is a super talented producer who can really bring things to the party and help you make a fantastic record!
