About Us

Meet Al…

With a keen interest in local live music and production, founder Al Bendall decided to open Lightbulb Studio in order to help local musicians with a space to create!

After a successful crowd funding campaign and support from the amazing Amy and Paul at Carpenter Wealth Management and help with the space from Casey Dale and Lucy from Coachworks Ashford, Lightbulb studio opened its doors in February 2023. With a number of musicians and songwriters already using the space, we can’t wait to see what the future holds!

With a background in the creative industry Al has always had a keen interest in music production and performance due to its tight links to film making.
