'Working with Smiley at Sunshine Corner is always a buzz!  He is always so positive and energetic, creating an atmosphere that is both productive and fun.  I guess that comes with his years of experience working at a pro level, and whilst some could be snooty and arrogant, Smiley is down to earth and, well, Smiley!!   Putting you at ease and making the vibe in the studio stress free and one to be reckoned with!  He also makes a cracking cup of tea!   Go to the place and experience all that is Sunshine Corner!  You will not be disappointed!  I'm there next week!' 

- John James Newman (Marmelade & BBC1s 'The Voice')

'When I wanted to find the ideal place to record a song I had written for my granddaughter, I had some options but had a feeling Smiley's Sunshine Corner Studios would be the way to go, and WOW what brightness, magic and total professionalism did Smiley bring to the project.  Some people have since said it's one of the best pieces of music I have created but that wouldn't be the case I am sure without the inspirational energy of Sunshine Corner Studios.' 

- Ivan Chandler (Music Publisher)

'The high level of revolutionary disciple within Thee Faction and the stringent requirements we have of comrades we work with make it very difficult to find studios which will fit our ethos or political mission.  We knew Sunshine Corner Studios was perfect the moment we walked in.  Comrade Smiley handled the music, the politics and the historical mission with tremendous humour, confidence and comradeship.  Thee Faction salute Comrade Smiley and commend his studio to anyone.  There is no studio that feels better than Smiley's.  Come the Great Day all studios will feel like Sunshine Corner, and all engineers will be like Comrade Smiley.  Onward.  Unto the Great Day.'

- Babyface (Thee Faction)

'When we came to record our debut album there was one one studio for us, Sunshine Corner Studios in deepest Fleet.  With its mixing desk with genuine rock and roll history, top gear with a great choice of amps, guitars and a fantastic array of drums/cymbals, some of the best musical advice there is, and in Smiley a top bloke - who knows his onions and can create such a good vibe that you can't help but be inspired and give it your best!  He's no slouch in the producer's chair either, all of this has contributed in our album 'Gentleman and Hooligans' receiving one glowing review after another and is being quite rightly (in our humble onion) hailed in some quarters as one of THE albums of 2012.  Grab an earful on iTunes and Amazon.'
