Session Musicians for Hire
in Cardiff
Looking for session musicians in Cardiff? Cardiff is a short hop across the Severn and one of the most active grassroots scenes in the UK — Clwb Ifor Bach, Tramshed, the BBC Horizons pipeline and a huge Welsh-language songwriting community. Plenty of Cardiff artists find Bristol quicker than tying up Cardiff's busier rooms.

FAQ
How does remote session work?
You send stems and reference tracks; we track at the studio through the appropriate signal chain and deliver clean multitracks plus a rough mix.
Can I get an attended session?
Yes — book studio time and we'll bring the players in. Attended sessions are usually the fastest route to the record you're hearing in your head.
Do you offer arrangement too?
Yes. String, horn and vocal harmony arrangement is part of what we do daily — send the song and a mood board.
Do you travel to Cardiff?
For attended sessions we usually host you in Bristol — it's 45 minutes across the Severn — but on-location tracking, foley recces and rehearsal-room production days in Cardiff are all things we do when the project calls for it.
