Business Boom Bolton can now disclose more information about the soon-to-be unveiled high street recording studio in Bolton!
As the logo reveals, the studio and website will be named Talent Pool and will be unveiled on Saturday 24th of September on Churchbank, Bolton. The occasion is sure to be a fun-filled event, with local bands including the Lottery Winners (winners of Live and Unsigned 2010!) arranged to provide fantastic entertainment.
Working in partnership with Booths Music, who many musicians already know are on hand to offer composition and accompaniment tuition, the owner of the new studio Tony Aspinall cannot wait to get the ball rolling. Speaking with Mr Aspinall, he told Business Boom Bolton that "Talent Pool offers a more straight forward and accessible approach to studio recording often not found in more commercial and industrious studios. While that is fine for bands, Talent Pool is suitable for everyone and anyone from children to parent and grandparents". Moreover, the unique aspect of the new studio is the fact that "any solo artist, whether he or she is a singer, guitarist, pianist, drummer or any other type of musician can come in, record their stuff on quality equipment with the backing track of their choice". Mr Aspinall also added that "the main thing about Talent Pool is that it will be a day to remember for all involved and the product that you will receive will be something to treasure forever".
If you are a musician who wants a professional recording of your talent and wants to have a unique and exciting experience, come down to the unveiling of Talent Pool on 24th of September for great entertainment and fantastic discounts on recordings.
More information about Talent Pool and their new website will be posted up on the Business Boom Bolton blog in due course!
Business Boom Bolton has recently spoken to local lecturer and entrepreneur Julie Haslam about her home accessories company Domestic Bliss. 
Eau de Mars was first created in 2010 by Roland and colleagues when they realized that many high street fashion brands were quickly losing their identity and individuality. It is upon the sense of ‘individuality’ that the ethos of Eau de Mars is founded and maintained. Their bespoke designs are instantly recognizable and ooze a sense of modernity, quality and distinction that resonates with anyone from the alternative, to the skateboard scene. Speaking to Roland, he makes it clear that he wants to “offer something different to the high street” by providing “unique designs that are constantly evolving” to modern trends. Furthermore, not only does Roland and his team create garments using eco-friendly methods, they employ local artists, printers and models in order to give “that sense of northern identity” and “boost the local economy”.
