Whanga Records opened it's doors in the centre of Dunfermline in April 2021, named in memory of Callum Jake Paterson Whanga, who was sadly taken from us n 13th June 2019.

​

We operated a recording studio, rehearsal space and recoerd label, and worked with bands releasing their music and helped them with PR. We also put on some superb underground gigs from our studio.
We did this as a team while still working in our 'real' jobs.

There was many highs during this year including recording and releasing great music by TwinsTown, Frantic Chant, Birrell or Biscuit and 1/4 Chubz.
One particular highlight was recording and releasing TwinsTown - Callum Paterson's Broken Song as it included Callum singing on it.

​

After a year of this model we realised that we needed to streamline our business model to put the emphasise back on the enjoyment of music and less about making enough money to cover our high rent, so we sat down and came up with a plan for the future.
 

We could see that there were other businesses offering recording studio space and rehearsal space aswell as other businesses offering gig venues. We came to the conclusion that it was best to work with these other businesses and share our resources.

So going froward from April 2022 we are operating primarily as a record label and event organiser, we will use our friends and partners for rehearsal space, recording space and events.
