Welcome to Shonk Studio
...a right proper recording and editing studio, located in the heart of East Oxford.
Shonk Recording Studios was established in 1999 by John Halliday, a very experienced session musician and for many years the Drummer and founder member of Oxford band The Candyskins who were signed to Geffen records USA along side Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Beck, blink 182, Teenage Fanclub, Queens of the Stone Age and Guns 'n' Roses. The Candyskins recorded in some of the top studios including Rockfield and Abbey Road with many name producers including Hugh Jones, Pat Collier, Pat Moran and T Bone Wolk. John picked up a wealth of knowledge and experience over this 15 year period, and was engineering and producing bands throughout.
