The Hayling Studio.
This was owned and run by David Ruffell, and was set up in about 1968. It moved to Worthing, W Sussex, in 1969 or 1970 under the name Saturn Sound Studio and was subsequently sold to Adam Sieff (of the Marks & Spencer family) when it became Pebble Beach Studio for a time. It has since closed down.
Apparemntly Gee Kenny was the Entertainment Manager at Sinah Warren around 70/71 and left there to head up Warners operation in Yugoslavia.
also The Furys became Blue Sand in 1967 timeframe with me (Pete White on guitar) colin Marchant Rhythm, Bryan Baker bass and Stu Savage on drums then The Colours around 1970 same people with Colin then added Ray Baker in 1972.
Johnny Gordon and Brian Price ran DMF Studios at Denmead on the corner of Craigstone Road and Hambldon Road. The building is now demollished.
Watershed Studio in the 1980's in St Mary's Road Fratton, and in the 1990's just below Fratton Bridge.
What happened to all those master tapes? Lost? Shame!
It s Don t Blame Me by Johnny Dankworth and Don Rendell. Rendell was the sax player who employed an alto saxophonist in his modern jazz outfit, around 1960/1962 called Graham Bond.
So far, so good but the address is ALAN BROWN RECORDING, ARUNDEL STREET. Bandleader Johnny Lyne had a music shop in Arundel Street but does anyone know about this? The only Alan Brown I knew of back then was a Scottish wing-half (ah, wing halves!) in the Pompey team that won promotion 1961/2.
The Kelly s Directory of Portsmouth for 1958 shows number 26, Arundel street as being Chain Libraries Ltd. then comes Surrey Street, (almost opposite the old Mecca), then number 40 as being a tobacconist, where U-Need-Us now is, so it looks like the building that was number 35 was lost during World War 2. At number 269, Arundel St. was a business called Recording Machines Ltd. that may have been a studio relocated from number 35, or it may have been something entirely different?
Johnny Dankworth s Don t Blame Me was recorde on October 14th 1950 in London. The Portsmouth recording must have been a recording-off (an early version of an illegal download?)!! The personnel was :- Johnny Dankworth(as), Don Rendell(ts), Jimmy Deucher(trp), Eddie Harvey(tb), Bill le Sage(p), Joe Muddel (bass), and Tony Kinsey(drm). Vocals were by Frank Holder, who replaced Marion Williams. Our old mate Tony Kinsey seems to crop up on so many different recordings and was probably the most regular drummer for Johnny Dankwoth.
In the1939-1940 Kelly s Directory there is an entry under Music and Musical Instrument Warehouses and Dealers :- Barkers, 31, Arundel Street, Landport. This seems too much of a coincidence for there not to be a connection between two music-related businesses being next door neighbours.
From Chris Harvey
The Allan Brown Studio was situated in Arundel Street, approximately where Wilkinson s now stands. It was essentially a radio equipment and repair shop with the recording facilities in a room at the rear of the shop. Everything seemed a bit of a jumble with bits of equipment all over the place (an Aladdin s Cave for radio enthusiasts)
I m not sure for what reason we decided to make the recording or the cost, but it couldn t have been too expensive as we wouldn t have had much spare cash being young apprentices.
I remember the four of us being guided into the room at the back of the shop and told to sing into a rather large microphone, while Mr. Brown was in the corner twiddling with various controls to get the right balance. I don t think he was particularly interested in music but more in the technical side of the whole thing.
We made a double-sided recording; side one being the Jimmy Brown Song and on the reverse Oh Mein Papa (both unaccompanied). I think this dates it to 1953.
I believe the record is still around after 60 yrs and is in the hands of Brian Muggeridge s widow unfortunately with whom I have no contact.
I hope my recollections have been of some help by the way there s no way Johnny Dankworth would have got his band in that studio !
Regards, Chris.
