Synopsis:
50 years ago, deep in the Welsh countryside, two brothers were milking cows and preparing to take over the family farm - but dreamed of making music. They had the audacious idea to build a studio in their farmhouse attic and record their own tunes. Animals were kicked out of barns and musicians were moved into Nan’s spare bedroom. Inadvertently, they’d launched the world’s first independent residential recording studio: Rockfield.
Black Sabbath, Queen, Robert Plant, Iggy Pop, Simple Minds, Oasis, The Stone Roses, Coldplay and many more made mayhem and music at Rockfield over the decades. This is a story of rock and roll dreams intertwined with a family business’s fight for survival in the face of an everchanging music landscape.
Reviews:
"If someone told me that all these groups recorded these hit records on a farm, i would not have believed them but it's true and somehow not listed a cultural heritage. This documentary was really great and somehow they created a place where creativity could happen and history become legend."

"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!"
