Newcastle Music Studio Reviews
Robbie’s got ears for years and skills that thrill. As an engineer, producer, and accompanist, he brings rare finesse and a gift for revealing the soul of the music.

We’ve just released our second album (Second Script) that we recorded at Funky Lizard Studios, under the watchful eye of Robbie Long…. Everything about the process of recording, mixing and mastering was first class, done by a master craftsman, whether he was behind the desk or helping our songs and tunes fly with instrumental support.
If you are looking for a place and a person to bring out the best in your music, go there…….

Friendly, professional and good fun to work with.

Working with Robbie is a near ineffably joyful experience. His off the cuff sense of humour blended with his deep understanding of maintaining artistic authenticity makes for a comfortable and engaging recording experience. 10/10 he is one funky lizard!
Trevor Zadro-Jones (Paint Job)
“A producer with a beautiful studio space, combining analogue and digital equipment, who has over thirty years’ experience in recording and producing albums, as well as a seriously impressive skills set as a multi-instrumentalist and session cat. Robbie Long can meet all the needs of a songwriter to make their dream a reality. Funky Lizard Studios is the place to make the album of your dreams.”
Dave Stephenson (Waiting for Guinness)
Multi tracking became hassle free with Robbie Long on the controls.

I’ve worked with Robbie periodically over the last decade in both the old space and his new studio. He’s always so welcoming and helps you feel very much at home. While being very humble about it, he’s a talented multiinstrumentalist. This nuanced musicality when united with his technical understanding and clever setup makes him the real deal in my opinion. Total gem!

I had the pleasure of working with Robbie on a short film, where he composed the score. With just a few references and a rough picture edit, he delivered a first version that was nearly perfect—requiring only minimal tweaks. That’s especially impressive, considering I’ve gone through dozens of revisions on previous projects. Every step of the process with Robbie was seamless, and his calm, affable demeanor made the collaboration a joy. I can’t recommend him highly enough—if you’re considering working with him, stop thinking and book him before someone else does.

Robbie Long is an incredibly talented musician and with that, he brings accomplished musicianship, inspired arrangements, and a sharp ability to get the best out of clients in the studio. An added bonus is his calm and witty demeanour that creates a comfortable and productive space where creativity and excellence in music production can thrive.

Robbie did a great job with my 3rd album – so good that I got him to do another, and another, and another few more! Always loved his creative contributions, his efficiency, and his flexibility. He gets the job done without any boom, crash, opera!
Maureen O’Brien
Without the encouragement of Robbie at Funky Lizard Studio, my album would not exist! It does, and his incredible dedication to the integrity of both the music and the artist are off the charts.
