A new lease of life for the old Nat West Bank building - as a recording studio for a couple who have worked with big names like Kylie Minogue! They plan to turn the bank part of the building into a reception area - there is a residential building behind the bank, where the bank offices were, and this is where they plan to put the actual recording studio.
The Brecon Beacons National Park planning department has approved the change of use, on the grounds that there are no other suitable premises available in Hay to become a recording studio. They are also satisfied that it won't be noisy, as the recording will take place in a room that has been sound proofed.
According to the article in the Brecon & Radnor Express, the building has housed a bank since 1867, when the National Provincial Bank of England purchased the building.
We were talking about this at the Stitch and Bitch group on Thursday evening, where one of the ladies said she had used the mobile bank provided by NatWest (Friday lunch times at the Cinema Bookshop in Hay). She said the steps up to the mobile bank were so steep you had to be fit to get in!
Another lady had used the mobile bank in Crickhowell. On the day she went, they had parked on a slope, so every time the staff let go of the desks they were sitting at, their office chairs rolled backwards! And they hadn't managed to find a wifi signal, so they couldn't transact any bank business anyway!
