This week, we talk to Nick Brine (who, as a teenager, worked on The Stone Roses’ 2nd LP & Oasis’ What’s The Story Morning Glory and has worked with everyone from Nick Cave to Bruce Springsteen) about the legendary Welsh recording studio that Nick got his start in the doc Rockfield: The Studio On The Farm. We discuss all the legends that have recorded there from Hawkwind to Queen from The Beta Band to Shane MacGowan, how The Ward Brothers who created Rockfield transformed their family farm into the first residential recording studio in the world, using pig stalls for reverb chambers, Joe Meek, the birthplace of Britpop, dealing with the paparazzi, Kingsley’s ability to spin yarns, Iggy Pop & David Bowie recording with a piece of cheese, the magic of the Welsh countryside, driving Robert Plant around, Roy Thomas Baker’s gold toilet seat, the posh side of town vs the farmer side of town, Andy Wallace, Nick’s very strange initial job interview, Nick’s first two sessions with Sepultura and The Stone Roses, getting used to seeing rock bands walking around your small town, working with Oasis and Nick witnessing the legendary fight that broke them up, if the Stone Roses ever get any work done in the 14 months they were there, the Wonderwall wall, using bathroom hallways as vocal booths, building studios with members of the Darkness,Teenage Fanclub and so much more!

If you want amazing stories about one of the most magical places that somehow created much of the greatest music ever made…you’ve got it on this week’s episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!
