Ground Up Music (Vol.2) – Studio Pathways

Peterborough has talent. Now we’re building the pathway.

Ground Up Music Volume 2: Studio Pathways is a new 24-month artist development project from Drip Dry Productions & Beat This CIC,
supported by Arts Council England.

Following the first Ground Up Music project, which supported 58 artists, we’re going further, helping emerging musicians, producers, songwriters & bands develop their music, record it professionally, release it & connect with the wider music industry.

Based at Chime Creation Centre, Peterborough, artists will have access to mentoring, songwriting & production sessions, professional recording, mixing & mastering, assisted rehearsals, band recording workshops & live showcases.

We’re also investing in the studio itself, upgrading equipment, monitoring & acoustics to create a stronger long-term resource for
Peterborough’s grassroots music scene.

Artist & band enrolment opens December 2026 - Get in touch by email: dripdryproductions@gmail.com

New Drip Dry Productions Facebook Page

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a quick update regarding our social media presence.

Unfortunately, due to an issue with Meta, I have lost access to the original Drip Dry Productions Facebook page. Although the page is still visible online, I am no longer able to manage it, post updates, respond to messages, or interact with followers through that account.

To ensure that Drip Dry Productions can continue sharing news, opportunities, workshops, artist releases and community projects,
I have created a brand-new official Facebook page.

NEW FACEBOOK PAGE ERE

If you've arrived here from Facebook, or if you've supported Drip Dry Productions over the years,
I'd be incredibly grateful if you could follow the new page and help spread the word.

For more than 15 years, Drip Dry Productions has been dedicated to supporting independent artists, nurturing creativity, developing skills, and helping musicians bring their ideas to life. While losing access to our original page has been frustrating,
it won't stop the work we do or the community we've built together.

Thank you for your continued support, encouragement and belief in what Drip Dry Productions stands for. Every follow,
share and recommendation genuinely helps as we rebuild our online presence.

Please note: The old Facebook page is no longer monitored and should be considered inactive.
All future Facebook updates will be shared through our new official page.

Thank you for being part of the journey - Benny X.

‘Blooms’ - Live at Drip Dry

Young Indie-Rock outfit, The Portland (@theportlandband) have just dropped a live video of their latest single 'Blooms' which we recorded as part of the Ground Up Music project (funded by The Arts Council England and in collaboration with Beat This).

We’re super proud of what the boys achieved, especially after losing work due to a break-in at the studio last year! 💥 ‘Take it away’ …

2025: The Pictures Speak For Themselves

It was a massive year at Drip Dry in 2025. Twas all about levelling up the local scene and sticking together when things got tough. The big news is that Ground Up Music (our collab with Beat This) is now fully funded until 2027! We’ve already seen 35+ artists through the doors for one-on-one recording and production sessions, helping bands and solo acts get their tracks onto Spotify and Apple Music. Plus,
we’ve upgraded our studio facilities and led seminars for would-be Writers, Producers, and Mixers.

It wasn't all easy, though. After the break-in at the Chime Creation Centre in August, we lost a lot of gear and even more hard work. But the way the Cambridgeshire music community rallied around our "Rebuilding Lost Dreams" campaign was unreal. Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to help affected artists get back into the studio to re-record what was lost. We’re not just back on our feet; we’re making sure nobody's creative progress gets left behind.

In between the madness, we’ve been busy with some killer projects; everything from Opaque’s ambitious new album “Beginning To End” and board game concept to the Winter Trails project with Charley Genever for the Nene Park Trust. Whether we're tracking drums for the Henry Birkett Band, recording live sessions with The Hangland, Yoke, The Dusty Seagulls or The Portland, or mixing albums for the likes of The Baby Seals, or even working on mental health projects with Beat This and CPSL Mind, the goal remains the same: helping you find your sound and get it heard. We’ve got a podcast in the works and a full studio diary for 2026, so if you’re ready to record, let’s get to work!

Ground Up Music: We're Funded until 2026!

Big news for all emerging artists and bands in the city! The Ground Up Music project, a joint venture between community music specialists, Beat This, and Drip Dry, is buzzing. We're actively supporting grassroots talent by giving you free access to professional recording and production facilities.

We're booking sessions now and are ready to help you move your projects forward—whether you need to lay down a demo, mix a single, or just spend time refining your sound with expert guidance.

What We've Been Up To

Since launching, Ground Up Music has got off to a wicked start with over 25 musicians signed up. We’ve already gotten over 30 participants through the doors for one-on-one production sessions, which is driving some serious creative development.

Global Releases: We’ve successfully supported 3 artists and 4 bands in releasing their music globally.
Training & Development: Our former seminars have been upgraded and will now run as our 'Writers, Producers and Mixers Camps,' offering the same valuable insights and networking, just under a slicker name.
Partnerships: We've expanded our community impact by linking up with awesome organisations like Jump Up Theatre and CPSL Mind to use music-making to help raise mental health awareness.
Future Plans: The participant-led Ground Up Music podcast is actively being planned for launch this year, with our musicians driving the content and direction.

The best part? Our funding is locked in until Summer 2026. That's a huge commitment, meaning we have plenty of time and resource to invest in your music journey, helping you build skills and launch a sustainable career.
