A word from our generous sponsors...

For over 20 years, a spirit has grown around Strongroom which has made it renowned the world over. Famous for its studios that not only sound fantastic but look and feel great, courtesy of Jamie Reid interiors, this year we are delighted to once again be involved in both the Camden Crawl and the Indie Idle competition.

2008 proved to be another action packed year for Strongroom with a legion of the world's finest musical talent passing through the doors, including last year's Indie Idle winners Skyhorse! Legendary figures including The Who, Tom Jones, Robin Gibb, Paul Simon, Nick Cave, Elkie Brooks and Malcolm McLaren filled the diary alongside current household names such as The Gossip, Razorlight, Lily Allen, The Saturdays, Basement Jaxx, The Guillemots, Kasabian, Bloc Party, The Ting Tings, Kylie, Kooks, The View and, er, Kate Moss.

This year we're very excited about the launch of our own label, Strongroom Records, and are delighted to offer the winner of the Indie Idle competition a digital single release through the label, as well as two days in the studio.
