DD8 Music with its track record of organising popular music events wanted to take over the lease of a former Air Museum on the edge of Kirriemuir and create a
music recording studio. With help from LEADER, Angus Council and a lot of volunteer input and local trades people, the building has been radically upgraded.
The group now has soundproof premises with rehearsal room, recording room, kitchenette and toilet as well as recording equipment, a range of instruments for aspiring young musician to use and access to tuition. The premises are well booked and the recording facilities are used by bands and individuals to record mementos, teaching aids and demo discs. A sound engineer is also on hand when needed.
The new premises hosts regular sessions for young people and has been a platform for developing the group and its activities. DD8 has established good networks and partnerships with range of organisations and continue to promote local festivals and events such as Bon Scott, Live in the Den and Ska Fest as well as participating in Scottish Rural Network events.
