(Fran) Ashcroft’s producer and engineer credits not only include pop superstars The Dandy Warhols, the Gorillaz and The Kingsman, he has worked at the top recording studios all over the world that include Abbey Road Studios, Trident Studios (for EMI), Robert Lang Studios and Birdland Studios. He has also grown his own Happy Beat Recording Studio to be one of the top rated recording facilities in the world, and it is one of the most booked recorded studios every day.
