The themes portrayed do not please me, not at all, documentary, rock, recording, but accelerating, reducing it to a 40-minute documentary, interesting to know the Rock farm, although the subject is totally uninteresting to me, still I didn't win...

Plot summary
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. Animals were kicked out of barns and musicians 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, The Stone Roses, Oasis, Coldplay and more made music and mayhem at Rockfield over the decades. This is their story of rock and roll dreams intertwined with a family business’s fight for survival in the face of an ever-changing music landscape.

Still I didn't win...
A Rocking great documentary
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!
Carry on ... Music studio?
Everyone is up for a laugh with a bucket load of cheeky chaps just wanting to have fun making music. This is one of those 'you wouldn't believe it if it was fiction' documentaries. Less faithful to the warts and all music industry and more a 'carry on' romp through history.
