I live a short drive from Rockfield, I have known its name and reputation ever since I was a young lad. Over the years I have heard local stories about famous rock stars getting up to mischief in Monmouth, such as The Stone Roses and Oasis.
Fascinating and incredibly well made documentary that tells the history of the studios (and of the farm). There are superb interviews throughout with the two brothers who started it all and their families, plus many of the huge artists that recorded there. Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Robert Plant, Noel Gallagher, Chris Martin, etc. Fantastic, I found myself laughing many times as they recalled their escapades. The importance of Rockfield in the history of music, rock in particular, is huge. It is a place that brought out creativity in artists, where songs such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Wonderwall and Yellow were inspired and recorded. A hugely enjoyable and excellently made rockumentary, essential viewing for fans of rock music. Us local people will find it interesting too!
