There's a really broad range of music in Richmond upon Thames. You
can experience stadium rock in Twickenham, swing in Kew Gardens, there
are many pubs that host live gigs - and then there's a long list of
more classical music. Although the fabled Olympic Studios in
Barnes where major artists such as Led Zepellin, Oasis, Prince, Madonna,
The Beatles, David Bowie and Duran Duran had all recorded closed down in
Feb 2009, you can still record an album at Pete Townsend's Eel Pie
Studios which are located on a boat moored in Richmond. |
