A planning application has been submitted by Liverpool-based contractor PJ Percival Construction to Liverpool City Council to build a hotel and 114 apartments as part of a six-to-eight-storey development. This should not be allowed to happen, we are losing more and more venues across the UK and it needs to stop.
Parr Street Studios is an amazing place with a lot of history to it. It is a Grammy award winning recording studio complex on a little side street in Liverpool. The building incorporates a 4-star hotel, two bars, a music school and several production company offices.
Since they opened in 1991 they have seen many artists pass through their doors for recording like Coldplay, Barry Manilow, Take That, The Verve, Echo and the Bunnymen, Pulp, Donny Osmond and many many more.
As well as a recording Studio, part of Parr Street; Studio 2 has been turned into a music and event venue. I’ve been to a gig at Studio 2 and it was a fantastic place, the bar area which is set in the old control room is cool it’s a separate room but the music is still filtered through for people to be able to listen along while enjoying a drink in the bar with friends. The atmosphere in the whole place was amazing and somewhere where I hope to go again in years to come, but that won’t be possible if they demolish it to put up a hotel and flats.
