Through Billy Thompson’s contacts in the music profession, Thompsound Music is able to offer the services of some of the very finest musicians from around the UK for your project.
These musicians range from Orchestral members of some of Britain’s best orchestras to some of the finest Jazz and Rock and Folk musicians the UK has to offer.
In fact, using these Pros and potentially their contacts in the profession we feel confident that we can offer ANY instrument to ANYONE's project ANYWHERE in the World!
How does this work?
In the same way that Thompsound Music can travel to record your project at a destination of your choice, Thompsound Music can also procure the services of session musicians of your choice for your project.
This could also mean that the session musician comes to Thompsound Music to record here. The recorded files are then made available to you using Dropbox or via ftp from the Thompsound Music server or mailed to you on CD/DVD in whatever format is required, or added to the session. All dependent on the project of course.
