Recording music. Recording history. Folkestone Music Town.
Attracted by the sheer depth of creative arts in Folkestone, music producer Technical Finger and singer/songwriter Sophia Stutchbury, relocated their operation to join a wealth of talent in the delightful seaside town and have been instrumental in helping Folkestone earn the accolade of being the world’s first Music Town.
Aside from working on their own music, Technical Finger and Sophia Stutchbury are renowned for artist development, supporting aspiring artists and songwriters in developing their skills and honing their craft.
Along with a team of session players and musical instrument tutors, Seaview Studio has the network and expertise to help launch careers in the music industry.
We deliver the very best services for signed/unsigned artists and musicians.
Seaview Studio offers separate control room and live room, with built-in vocal booth, for optimum recording quality.
The rehearsal room at Seaview Studio is equipped with a drum kit, amps, PA and microphones.
As part of Folkestone Music Town’s Music In May Festival, Seaview Studio partner with Screen South to provide the opportunity for local artists and video directors to team up and create a music video, with professional support. Following an application process, artists and directors are selected and videos are filmed and edited throughout the month of May. The videos are then showcased at a Premier event, hosted at the local cinema. The project is funded by Arts Council England.
Folkestone Music Team CIC partner with Seaview Studio to offer opportunities to emerging artists to work alongside industry professionals, supporting their songwriting and recording process. As well as creating new material for commercial release, a showcase event at a local music venue helped introduce the artists to new audiences and generating content for marketing and promotion. The project is funded by Arts Council England.
We are very proud to work with numerous artists in a variety of music genres, supporting their track development and promotion campaigns. Seaview Studio also supports live music events with sound system and live recordings.
We have had the pleasure of working with many talented artists throughout the years. Here’s what they have to say!
chris morton Good studio...Good equipment and tim is a legend Olga Smolyk 5 stars — An Inspiring Creative Haven! Seaview Studio is an absolute treasure. This studio radiates creativity, warmth, and calm from the moment you step inside. It’s the perfect space for workshops, rehearsals, artistic gatherings, or simply to reconnect with your creative self. What truly makes this place special are Tim and Sophia, who bring their incredible energy, vision, and kindness into every corner of the studio. Their passion for supporting artists and building community is felt the moment you walk through the door. They don’t just run a studio — they cultivate a creative sanctuary. The atmosphere is both peaceful and energizing — filled with light, character, and a sense of welcome. It’s clear that every detail has been thoughtfully curated to support artistic exploration and authentic connection. I attended a music workshop here and was blown away not only by the space itself but also by how it nurtures flow, expression, and collaboration. Whether you’re a musician, performer, writer, or facilitator, this place has a special kind of magic that brings your work to life. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an inspiring and soulful creative space! Nastia Photography THE place to follow if you’re a musician in the area, because Sophia and Tim from Seaview offer so much within their studio, from top-notch recording sessions and lessons for singers, guitarists etc, to absolutely incredible workshops on various topics! I’ve been to at least 5-6 workshops, have recorded a song for my band with Tim and can’t wait for more. And now that Music in May is in full swing, Folkestone Music and Seaview Studio are offering the most amazing music events!! Nigel Emmerson Rehearsal room is well equipped, clean and tidy.
