The brainchild of Derek Turner, Tumbleweed Recording Studio was set up in 1996 to cater to the demand from musicians in Dundalk for a professional recording studio locally. While the aim of the studio from the outset was to provide an affordable recording facility for local bands and solo artists, Tumbleweed has also gone on to work with international artists and producers such as Brianna Corrigan (The Beautiful South) and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds producer Matt Crosbie...
In 1998 Tumbleweed Studios recruited Jason Varley as a second engineer to help carry the workload. Shortly after Derek branched out into promotion and management and Jason took over as the main engineer. In the years that followed the studio went on to work with such artists as Roesy, Stewart Agnew, Mary Coughlan, Clive Barnes and Jinx Lennon.
In the summer of 2003 Tumbleweed set up a network of introductory sound training course with engineer Oran Burns at the helm. A local of Dundalk, Oran is a graduate of the STC Dublin and holds 2 City and Guilds in sound engineering.
At Tumbleweed studios, we at all times strive to produce the highest quality of work possible. We realise that it's your album, your career, your life, not just our wages.
