It’s official – Magic Voices will be recording at Abbey Road Studios in May 2027

Hi everyone,

WE’RE GOING TO ABBEY ROAD! 🎶

It feels like I have been waiting forever to write those words, and I am literally jumping up and down as I can finally confirm that:

Magic Voices will be recording at Abbey Road Studios on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th May 2027.

Abbey Road is ours for the weekend... Hip Hip... :)

After months of emails, meetings, planning and date challenges – you can probably tell, I’ve done a happy dance around my new home!!

MAGIC VOICES IS GOING TO ABBEY ROAD!

Five recording sessions.

Up to 160 Magic Voices singers in Studio One at a time.

Two full hours of recording for every group.

Exclusive new arrangements being created especially for the project.

And ultimately...

our very own Magic Voices album, recorded at Abbey Road Studios.

CAN’T SEE YOUR NAME ON THE LIST?

If you believe you have already registered and made a payment for Abbey Road but your name isn’t shown above, please don’t panic and please don’t make another booking.

Simply email mike@magicvoices.co.uk with your name and choir, and if you registered for somebody else as well, please include their name too.

I will look into it straight away.

IF YOUR NAME IS ON THE LIST...

Congratulations – you’re going to Abbey Road! 🎉

For now, please continue to keep both Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th May available until the recording groups have been allocated.

Now that our Abbey Road booking is confirmed:

all deposits and payments are non-refundable.

STILL THINKING ABOUT COMING?

There are still a few places available.

If you couldn’t make the original June weekend, were sitting on the fence, or have simply decided:

“I really don’t want to miss this...”

You can still register here:

https://www.magicvoices.co.uk/abbey-road

Remaining places will be allocated in the order completed registrations are received.

If YOU want to experience recording at Abbey Road Studios, come and be part of it.

AND IF ABBEY ROAD ISN’T FOR YOU...

Abbey Road is only an extra Magic Voices experience. It does not change everything else we do.

The weekly sessions and concerts all continue just the same.

The new arrangements Andy is creating will also become part of our Magic Voices repertoire, so they won’t just be learned exclusively for Abbey Road.

FOR EVERYONE WHO IS COMING...

It’s happening. 🎉

Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th May 2027.

Magic Voices.

Abbey Road Studios.

Hundreds of us making music together in Studio One.

I genuinely cannot wait!!

Mike 😊
