Bluebottle Music has been designed and built to offer high quality recording in Newcastle New South Wales and is capable of recording pristine "blue bottle" quality acoustic recordings to recording folk to rock-being small does not mean you cannot be a thing of beauty with sting-just like the bluebottles on Newies beaches.
Being small overheads are kept low which means a reduced hourly recording/mixing rate.
