The Priory is Roger Taylor's current studio, located at his home in Surrey. So far, two major projects have been recording there. The Cosmos Rocks, featuring lead vocals by Paul Rodgers, was recorded and mixed in full at the location. More recently, Roger Taylor's latest solo album Fun On Earth was recorded there. The studio is featured throughout Roger's solo video The Unblinking Eye.
