About Us

South West Recordings is a new record label specifically set up to release one off singles by artists from the South West of England, an area that stretches from Bournemouth in the east to Lands End in the west and Gloucester in the north.

There is a huge range of musical talent in the South West and we are dedicated to help bring them to the attention of the world at large. Our goal is to find new talent from the region and help them join the ranks of internationally famous artists from the South West, such as Muse, Joss Stone, Chris Martin and Seth Lakeman.

South West Recordings is a unique joint venture between Dartington Plus, the region's Music Development Agency and Sawmills Studios, the area's most celebrated recording studio. Former manager of The Specials and Two Tone Records, Rick Rogers, is at the helm.
