Unit 5 Studios started life on Old Mill Lane Industrial Estate in Unit 5 where with the help of Steve Townsend we converted a shared unit into a recording and rehearsal room there they stayed for 2 years until the lease we shared ran out and the hunt was on for other premises and by pure chance we end up at Wood Street in Unit 5 the place needed a complete overhaul so over the course of a year Steve with his building and joinery expertise and me labouring for him the conversion from double garage to studio was achieved.

Unfortunately Steve Townsend had to leave the partnership after a year due to his work commitments so I decided to carry on as a sole trader .

Steve Davies has worked in the studio industry for almost 30 years starting on humble 2 track Revox machines recording live bands to where he is now using digital equipment.

During that time he has set up various studios in Nottinghamshire Everbimes in Mansfield Rich Studios in Nottingham and the Mobile Mouse studios  

 The studio has gone from strength to strength and now has three rooms to cater for the local groups .

Unit 5 is situated on Wood Street in Mansfield and is a mere 5 minutes  from Mansfield town centre amenities
