Vulcan Studios was first established in the denim days of the eighties, providing space and time for artists and musicians to struggle through their formative years. Barry, not a musician just a hippy having hitched his way around the world, settled back in Liverpool with his wife and child. Having aquired an old warehouse on the dock road, just by where the Irish fishing boats used to land, he was a frequent face watching live gigs around the city and allowed a few friends to rehearse in his little building.

"I used to just go by the building once a week and there would be a row of pound notes on the shelf. The bands just let themselves in and left their money, then it happened that there would be more money than i expected. More and more bands needed somewhere to practise. And thats how its began; i got a bigger building..."

Scratch the story of any Liverpool band and Vulcan Studios is there, but we wouldnt name drop... Some bands have been meeting here for nearly thirty years and some just sweep through on their way up. Old guys and young dudes share a common language and love of making music in our comfortable pretentionless studios.
