Save London's Battery Studios: Music History at Risk

0:00On April 17, London's battery studios that Northwest Jim in Willsden faces demolition for flats, but are petitions rallying fans to save it. This spot birthed classics like Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast, Deaf Leopards Pyramania, Black Sabbath's Savitage, and Yes's Tales from Topographic Oceans. Founded back in 1967 as Morgan Studios, it's hosted legends from the Kinks and Paul McCartney to Adele and Sam Smith shaping UK music, history. Owners were sounding the alarm, calling it a cultural cornerstone under threat, with studios vanishing across the country, hitting creativity and jobs. Hard. Singer Nadine Shaw, who cut her 2016 album Holiday Destination There, warns we're losing more than bricks, its history, opportunity, and what makes London a creative hub. The push highlights Green Perks 2, since saving beats demolishing on carbon costs. Head to the petition, tell the council to protect this music legacy for good.
