Set to be a hit with the city’s budding recording artists, musicians and podcasters, the project has seen the building’s historic music library transformed into a dynamic new space, complete with specially created walk-in recording studios, pianos and podcasting facilities.

Open to the public this week and free for anyone to use, the new facilities mark a bold new direction for the library, and are aimed at ensuring that enjoying, making and listening to music is accessible for everyone in Leeds.
