Female-led recording studio in the leafy Essex countryside
What is
Bluebell Studios?
Bluebell Studios is a music recording studio in Essex and was founded, established, and is run by Felicity Henry - female songwriter/producer/engineer/multi-instrumentalist. After years of working in multiple recording studios and facing the harsh reality of being a woman in these spaces, she decided to set up her own studio, far FAR away from these hierarchical, patriarchal businesses.
Bailey, Soul Musician
“Bluebell studios is my new happy place. The vibes are mellow; there are cats to pet (optional I’m sure). Flic put me at ease immediately and is so talented in building out a track. Just what I needed as a relative newbie to production studios. Highly recommend!”
Lily, Indie-Rock Musician
“Bluebell studios was such a lovely recording experience. It’s in a beautiful location and Felicity created such a friendly environment. As well as being incredibly talented and professional, she made the session feel relaxed and fun! +bonus points for the cute cats”
Fi, Musician/Mastering Engineer
“Working with Felicity was an absolute dream!
We felt so welcome and cared for at Bluebell Studios and the BnB. We were treated to three wonderful meals a day, and Felicity picked us up from Stansted in her car and drove us wherever we needed to go.
Bluebell is a unique space for FLINTA recording artists to explore their creativity in a nonjudgmental environment. In our creative collaboration, free from hierarchy, we pushed our music into new sonic territory and felt safe taking risks and having fun. I’m incredibly proud and pleased with what we’ve made together.
Felicity is a brilliant, multi-talented producer, musician, mixing engineer, facilitator, and host. Along with her lovely parents, she makes recording at Bluebell Studios feel like a holiday in the countryside with friends. I cannot recommend making the trip to Essex enough!”
Cleo, Singer/Songwriter
“I had an incredible time at Bluebell studios. Felicity is a phenomenal musician, multi instrumentalist and producer.
Her support helped me realise my vision in a way that was even better than I could have ever expected. She provides the perfect balance of support, facilitating ideas and enhancing what you want, while you remain in creative control. She is adaptable and very easy to work with. I worked with Felicity for 4 days on my EP and we turned the 5 demos I brought with me into fully mixed and mastered songs that I am incredibly proud of. I couldn’t have done it without her. Our stay at the BnB was wonderful, very comfortable and Felicity kindly drove us there and back every day, as well as to and from the train station. Her family provided delicious home cooked meals which catered to my tricky dietary requirements, and having a schedule where food was provided meant that we could fully immerse ourselves in making music throughout our sessions. Do not hesitate to contact Felicity to talk through your musical ideas. She has a huge range of experience in all genres and is happy to share her knowledge about the industry. If you are looking for a sign to take your music to the next level then this is it, I will definitely be booking more time at Bluebell studios in future!”
