West Of England Sound was a small studio in Torquay, and from 1969 until around 1976 Phil Dunne was a co-owner with Tony Waldron.
The studio had two Revox 2 track machines and recorded local acts and talent.
Whilst none of these artists reached the fame of the bands from the London studios, they were nevertheless talented and dedicated musicians, and these details & samples are important as the recordings are probably rarer than most. These are included in case the bands, fans, friends or family may recognise and appreciate their performances from nearly fifty years ago.
These were the resident band for many years at The Casa Marina & also Coral Island in Torquay.
