S'happening in Salford

Your Salford studios are right in the middle of Salford Quays aka Media City, the home of BBC and ITV studios, and only stone’s throw away from the Salford Lads Club — immortalised by The Smiths in 1985 as one of the most famous album covers of all time.

Looking to tune up or upgrade your kit? You're in capable hands at Forsyth's, the area's premier music institution since 1857 with a wealth of expertise to offer.

This is hallowed ground for soap enthusiasts too — filming for one of the small screen's most iconic and longest-running shows, Coronation Street, takes place just around the corner.

How do I book a session?

Our live booking calendar shows the latest availability of studios. You can book anywhere from a year in advance right up until a few minutes beforehand. Some studios are popular, so we recommend securing your slot in advance.

TIP: Book enough time to set-up and get comfortable with the gear, and set-up/pack-down anything you’ve brought along.

What is verification and how does it work?

Being verified unlocks extra features at Pirate, like Refer-a-Friend credits. You also need to have your identity verified before you book one of our DJ or recording studios, so it’s a worthwhile investment! Don’t worry, the process only takes two minutes.
