The Surgery Studios, run by Lee Prebble has been a hub for Wellington bands for over a decade.
Lee's had a hand in the creation of some of the capital's most iconic albums this century from The Black Seeds, The Phoenix Foundation, Trinity Roots and Family Cactus - and picked up an armful of NZ Music awards for his efforts.
Emma Smith caught up with Lee now residing in new premises, after the original Surgery, set up in a building earmarked for demolition, was finally bowled this year.
