Early History
The studio opened in 1976 under the name Lombard Sound and was the first 2 inch 24 track studio in Ireland. Briefly it was named Miracle Studios (as seen on the credits of the album "Aliens" by Horslips). It had a very large board of directors composed of recording artists, record label owner and artist managers. The studio ran under this format until 1984 when they sold all of the equipment and disbanded the company. Two of the directors (Tom Costello and Brian Molloy) of Lombard Sound took over the lease of the studio area and rebuilt the studio to a higher standard and extended the overall area of the studio facility. It re-opened quietly in October 1985 with its first session with Bill Whelan. Daire Winston was the House Engineer at the time.
