The Riff Factory Story

Riff Factory was established in 2013 by Stoke-on-Trent musicians Tom Carter and Ant Hulme.  With years of gigging and recording experience between them they decided to make their own mark on the music scene forming Riff Factory; giving local musician the perfect place to practice their riffs and record their master piece.  

Riff Factory is now a big part of the Stoke music scene with many bands making connections and even forming here.  Take a listen to some of the awesome sounds coming from the studio or contact us to book your rehearsal today.
