SESH

Low Four Studio is a distinctive venue located in Manchester, United Kingdom, known for its unique blend of historic charm and contemporary musical innovation. Housed within the historic Old Granada Studios, a building with deep ties to British broadcasting heritage, Low Four Studio has carved a niche as both a state-of-the-art recording studio and an intimate live venue. Established in the mid-2010s, it was developed with the aim of supporting local talent while also attracting high-profile international acts, and it quickly gained a reputation for its impeccable acoustics and high-quality live streaming capabilities.

The venue is culturally significant for reinvigorating Manchester’s rich musical landscape, providing a space where artists can perform, record, and broadcast their music in a professional yet welcoming environment. Over time, Low Four Studio has expanded its operations from a primarily broadcast-focused platform to a broader role in Manchester’s nightlife, occasionally opening its elegant, wood-paneled space for select live audiences, thus bridging the gap between traditional live gigs and cutting-edge digital showcases. Throughout its existence, the studio has retained its location within the Granada complex, preserving the character of the building while updating its technical infrastructure to stay at the forefront of music production and live streaming technology.

Low Four Studio has hosted an impressive roster of artists, both international and local, including Everything Everything, The Orielles, Roisin Murphy, Jane Weaver, GoGo Penguin, Blossoms, Mew, Nadine Shah, Working Men’s Club, and The Slow Readers Club, among many others. This diverse lineup reflects the studio’s commitment to a wide spectrum of genres and its emphasis on supporting emerging as well as established acts.
