scalpy Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 I think Dave Edmunds was their first number 1 record, Kingsley doesn’t shut up (at all?!?) about it, can’t imagine it’s not in the movie. 9 minutes ago, Mickeyboro said: Where’s Dave Edmunds and Man???!

jezzaboy Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Looks good. Not much info re release though. I bought a book about 10 years ago about the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Release date remains a touch uncertain at the moment, but word is a Cardiff premiere. I don’t think the ward family thought the book was that great, the movie should have a lot more accurate stories (as well as some tall tales!)

oldslapper Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Got some vague memories of jamming with members of Hawkwind and Teardrop Explodes there, after bumping into them in a local hostelry. My band were at the rehearsal studio bit for the weekend. One of Hawkwind had locked himself in the studio as I recall. It was the early 80’s, so my mullet would have been present to witness the whole chemically enhanced debacle. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 I'm interested to see how many stories make it in. One thing for certain is that Kingsley would have given them plenty to choose from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people first heard of Rockfield via Black Sabbath I presume but for me it was Budgie. I was obsessed with them in the early Seventies.....I still love the Seventies albums actually.

Budgie have certainly been mentioned in the studio's recent social media posts. I would imagine its a given. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I was surprised, also not more of Dave Edmunds either. Good fun though, didn't tell the story of Kingsley hiding microphones in the ceilings of the accommodation to capture some of the extra curricular goings on with local star struck ladies though!

Mickeyboro Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Hugely disappointing. Couldn’t wait to get to the Roses and ‘effing’ Liam Gallagher. I turned off and suspect I wasn’t alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbiscuits Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Liam Gallagher seems to be a lovely man doesn’t he? Not. Trying far far too hard to come across as a rockstar, but actually just comes across as a total @r$e 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerk Alert Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Ahh, can't wait to watch this! Recorded it. I had my stag do staying in the band's accommodation at Rockfield 4 years ago. Kingsley gave us a tour of the studios on one of the days... I'm intrigued about which of his stories made the cut 🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow! That's brilliant. Well, we had the best time. I hope all the bookings will help support the studio and keep the place running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 It was ok until the Gallagher brother was featured (far too much of him IMO), that guy is so obnoxious, he cannot even string one sentence together without using the f word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pst62 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Did The Damned get a mention? They recorded two of their finest albums there, The Black Album (1980) and Strawberries (1982) and The Damned being The Damned got up to some expected buffoonery. eg. taking the Tubular Bells out into the court yard and blasting them with a shotgun at three in the morning.
