Black Sabbath, Queen, The Stone Roses, Oasis, Coldplay,
Simple Minds, Robert Plant and Manic Street Preachers
are some of the greatest bands and musicians of our
time, but what is the one thing these titans of music
have in common?
This film tells the unlikely tale of how two Welsh
farming brothers turned their dairy farm into one of
the most successful recording studios of all time,
producing four decades of legendary rock music.
Fifty years ago, deep in the Welsh countryside,
brothers Kingsley and Charles Ward were starting out
in the family dairy farming business. But they yearned
to do something different – they wanted to make music.
So they built a studio in the attic of their farmhouse
and started recording with their friends. Animals were
kicked out of barns to make way for recording equipment,
and musicians were moved into Nan’s spare bedroom.
Inadvertently, they’d launched the world’s first
independent residential recording studio.
Rockfield’s reputation spread like wildfire, quickly
garnering international acclaim. From Black Sabbath,
Hawkwind and Queen, to Simple Minds, Iggy Pop and Robert
Plant, and later Oasis, The Stone Roses, The Charlatans,
Manic Street Preachers and Coldplay - an unbelievable
roll call of artists have made music and mayhem at
Rockfield.
Legendary musicians give us their awe-inspiring Rockfield
stories - sharing with us the highs, lows and magical
moments that created some the world’s best-known and
loved songs of our times - from Wonderwall to Yellow.
Innovatively told through archive, animation and personal
interviews, Rockfield: The Studio on the Farm is an
extraordinary story of rock and roll dreams intertwined
with a family business’s struggle for survival in the
face of an ever-changing music landscape.
