* “BaseHQ is an amazing studio and rehearsal space, always our first choice for band practice as they have great sounding spaces and good quality kit to hire if needed, plus they are all very nice people!! Andrew Archer/John Elliott –Trafik
* “BaseHQ has been the best studio we've worked with. Professional and friendly with excellent facilities at a reasonable price.We've also used their practice rooms which were brilliant and even lounged on their sofas with bad hangovers watching films between recording. If you want brilliant recording with a laid back atmosphere, go to Base HQ. We'd recommend them to anyone who wants to take their music to the next level. We're eternally gratefull to everything they've done for us. Get booked in NOW! Dave Lord - Ambershift
* Big up Base HQ for letting us film a scene from our video for our band Karoshi in the their studio.It's turned out great! We'd also recommend the live room as a great practice place for long lock down rehearsals and it's always a friendly and fun experience whenever we go there.
We've just completed an extensive production and songwriting project with some localschools and Base HQ was our first choice. They came back with a good price and were very warm and welcoming to the students. They provided first class service and expertise. We used all the practice rooms and also the recording studio and the kids were really happy with theirdays spent at Base HQ.
Sam Burt – Karoshi/BB Music House
* I discovered Base HQ 5 years ago. Prior to this I was of the opinion that to get quality recordings you had to book out an over-priced studio in London! I was persuaded to try Base HQ, based in Newcastle, on a particularly high profile broadcast project; and well, I landed well and truly on my feet! Ever since that experience I have made Base HQ my first choice destination for all my audio related work. Not only do I get superior audio recordings; I save money. They have a knack of finding the most talented engineers, the facility is excellent and they created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere; and crucially, given the demanding clients I have, they are always flexible. It is the perfect place to be creative, professional and have fun. Which at the end of the day is why we do what we do. Andy Lovatt – Something Moving/Zone Horror Channel
* Most professional recording, rehearsing technical facility around the north east with most friendly and personal service to match. Our school based anti-racism rap project has grown from strength to strength due to the expertise and collaboration from Base HQ. The varied type of work we have been fortunate to conduct with the studio staff in Base HQ and outside has really helped our educational enterprise. Amer Sheikh – The Word
* Base HQ is our spiritual home, It's where we write all of our material and a place where professional expertise and experience is exchanged amongst creative friends. Paul Bentley – What Said Robot (formerly Odd Shaped Head)
