Get in Touch

Josh has been involved in music and live events in Essex for well over a decade, originally discovering his love for music as a child. He discovered Bon Jovi via ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ via his Sony Walkman at the age of 8, Josh was part of the generation which enjoyed the original iPods. He vividly remembers listening to Kasabian’s self-titled album whilst on a school trip and from that moment on he was never without some kind of music.

Fast forward a few years and Josh’s passion for music continued to flourish as he developed a love for local bands and talent that he’d met on the circuit. At the age of 16, he started singing in a couple of jam bands, before joining a gigging originals band called Devil May Rise, playing around Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and London. At this stage, Josh began getting to grips with aspects of live music, including sound, recording and promoting, developing into a love of all things music tech before studying it at college and working as a sound tech at legendary Chelmsford venue, Asylum.

From then on Josh worked his way up to provide sound for a multitude of artists, venues, bands and corporate clients. Josh’s notable accomplishments are; providing sound for a number of UK tours (at venues such as Electric Ballroom in London, KK’s Steel Mill in Coventry, Manchester Academy and La Cigale in Paris), working with clients such as Cartier, ITV, Paul Young, Albert Lee, The Chelmsford Fling Festival, BIMM Music and Performance Institute, Milton Jones and Ginger Wildheart.

  • We’ve had Josh as our travelling sound tech and all round music tech guru for years. He’s advised us and helped us upgrade our tech, implement it and tour with it. He’s always made us sound absolutely mega on stage no matter where we’ve performed but the highlight of his services over the last 5 years would how he managed and run the FoH sound for us on our recent UK tour supporting Tarja. Josh stepped up and made sure all our tech was squared away, soundcheck was done in plenty of time and made the sound out front amazing in venues like Electric Ballroom Camden, KKs Steel Mill Wolverhampton and La Cigale in Paris. We couldn’t ask for a better, more knowledgeable, more dedicated sound tech.

     

    Clint Bredin – Beneath The Embers

  • Josh runs a tight ship, both at his studio in Alresford (which we HIGHLY recommend!) and on the stage, having toured with me when Beneath the Embers supported Tarja Turunen earlier this year, where he delivered an incredibly high standard of sound at venues like London’s Electric Ballroom and La Cigale in Paris. Not only is he a professional, he’s also a dear friend and believes in what we here are trying to achieve.

     

    Liam Gloster – Beneath The Embers / Impious Spirit Productions

  • Josh was super-helpful in mastering my acoustic track really quickly keeping the vibe I wanted in mind. This was done during the lockdown time without visiting the studio at all. I would definitely use Peace Productions again in my music releases.

  • Following on from the live music day I promoted at the UB Chelmsford on the 27th of August, I wanted to make a few comments on our sound engineer for the day Josh ‘Jabbott’ Abbott from Peace Productions Music Studio
    I’ve known Josh now for a fair few years and he has engineered our sound and promoted my music with live shows on numerous occasions. Not only is he an extremely good sound engineer he is a great fella to boot.
    Josh utilises top quality equipment, understands the venue requirements, does his research on the acts involved to make sure he gives the best sound possible, he’s friendly, positive and reliable. Definitely a man that loves his job and will always be my first call when needed.

  • Highly recommended! Fully committed, knowledgeable sound engineer, with vast experience on analogue and digital desk setups. Helped us at short notice, and couldn’t be more accommodating. Plus he’s a lovely guy! Don’t delay, give Josh a call!

     

    Andrew Wilson – Band Theft Audio

  • A great space that is very well equipped and they are so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this studio to all I know.

    Nick Garner – Black Frog Presents

  • Excellent studio with everything you could possibly need. Great environment and I will be back as often as I can.

     

    James Wallace

  • Working with Josh on our debut album was everything we could of hoped for. He knew what we wanted in terms of sound and production and made us all feel incredibly at ease during the process. Not only that he went above and beyond to fix any issues we had with the final mixes and was only too happy to go back over and produce a final mix that frankly was better than we could have expected. Josh was a true professional and you only have to hear the quality of our record as proof of his ability.

  • I initially chose Josh to record some songs of mine after meeting him and liking his energy. He had a positive friendly vibe which is important when recording a project. He was always up for trying anything and often contributed with his own ideas to try and make my songs better. I learnt a lot from him during the process and enjoyed our time together immensely with some great results too.
