Many Rollo productions from 1994-2001 took place at the Swanyard Recording Studios (www.swanyard.co.uk) located in Islington, London, UK. Independant and privately owned it was opened in 1985 and closed in February 2001.
It is always difficult to say goodbye but sadly at the end of February 2001 the studios will be closing their glass doors for the final time. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our clients for their business and support over the last few years. It's been great. With studios like ourselves shutting down all over the place it should make the studio bookings situation a little easier and hopefully more profitable for the studios out there that are left! Its all been such a squeeze over the last few years hasn't it? I wish the remaining studios the best of luck over the next year. Kick some ass!
I would like to say a thank you to a few special people who have worked so hard to make Swanyard such a great studio to work in. James Law (Assistant Manager and part of the comedy duo) Sam Wiltshire (for having grrrrrrrr!) John Harrison (Top Engineer, warmest person I know) Wol Ariec (We appreciate all those sleepless nights, but what a way to catch up with your studies) Gavin Callaghan (unflappable Engineer and crap footie player, fancy breaking your arm Gavin?) Howard Beck & Dave Nally (for keeping everything working so well) Nick Kirkland (for being a Woollyback and awake 24/7) Keith Knowles (for all his support) Grippa (irrepressible) Rollo Armstrong (for all his business and never being enticed away, although I know some of you tried to! I know who you are, I know where you live!) Martin McCorry & Rod Wildman (for arriving on the first day with broken noses and blackened eyes!) James Dalton & Ibi Tijani (for knocking over dustbins in corridors, then hiding and all your hard work) Mel, Raj, Eddie and Sarah(at Champion Records for their business and long may their success continue) Cheeky Records (for all their business) Morgan (formerly of Cheeky now at BMG) All the boys at Dreamhire for proving "service is paramount". Finally I would like to thank myself Michelle Ward for looking after the above with no concern for my own sanity! It really has been a blast and from the Swanyard team we bid you, in the words of Anne Robinson "Goodbye!"...Michelle, the Studio Manager, Feb 2001

In June 2007, Faithless left Cheeky/Sony-BMG to "be masters of their own destiny, to stop churning out hits for radio and get back to the naive experimental early Faithless days" (quote from BBC Music News).
