Who I'd like to meet:






A fitting description of the well established, cutting edge Hi-Toy Studios in Hazel Grove, Stockport. The studio is owned and managed by Ben Bannister, a well respected producer and session guitarist.In his late twenties, Ben has learned his craft working alongside some of the most prominent producers and engineers. Bringing together this experience and linking it with state of the art recording equipment ensures total client satisfaction and repeat business. Clients have the luxury of tracking through most of the industries top pre-amps and compressors using the ground breaking Focusrite Liquid Channel. Mixing and mastering are undertaken in-house to provide a complete solution. Sub-contract mastering is also catered for, usually on a 48 hour turnaround - Ring For Details. Ben is also available for session guitar work, both live and in the studio.

The studio is located in Hazel Grove, Stockport. Opposite Stepping Hill Maternity Hospital, and 5 mins from Hazel Grove Train Station

Jamie Mallender is the bass player for former Black Sabbath vocalist, Tony 
Martin.  He has just released a solo album to excellent reviews. CD Baby 
describe the album as, "A bass guitar oriented fusion, crossover, progressive 
instrumental album featuring a mishmash of genres, time changes and mood 
swings with a loose Sci-Fi B-Movie feel - more musical journey than virtuoso 
showcase, nevertheless displaying impressive chops."

Cheers for a fabulous week!

It's always so hard to know how to say thank you to a new friend, so I want to offer you a gift of good will and I hope you enjoy it.

As a musician, the best gift I have to offer is my music, so please email or leave a comment on my page and I'll send you our full current album of 14 songs for you to download to your computer. You may not realise, but your feelings about my songs are so very important to me. Please come listen to at least one or two tracks and leave a comment on my page. I always read the comments myself personally & love the feedback! Our new song "Don't Stop" is currently short-listed for an Ad campaign in the UK - how does the song make you feel? It's a pop, upbeat, fun & positive song with intended retro-infusion. I hope you like it!

May all your dreams come true.

I wish you much continued success in all your own aspirations & hope we remain in close contact.
Peace & respect, your friend,

Gabriella x

We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.

Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.
