What the industry say about Metronome…
Music legend, Jools Holland OBE, recently visited Confetti and said: “The studios here are better than I have seen anywhere during my career.”
Nick Raphael – UK President at Capitol Records – said following a visit to Confetti that he was “blown away by the campus and the facilities. The opportunities Confetti are giving their students will hopefully benefit the music and the entertainment business of the future.”
Andy Rogers, Senior Producer at BBC Radio 1Xtra stopped by to record a show: “The facilities at Confetti are excellent and it’s a great place to learn. We recorded a 1Xtra show here earlier this year and were very impressed with the new studio. It was great for both MCs and bands”.
