Sorry your poor souls, I provide more oc/Rockfield content.

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.

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 legendary Rockfield​…

“I didn’t tell the lads in case it didn’t happen. I told them instead that we were just going to have a cup of tea at this nice place I knew. We pulled up to Rockfield and Benji was standing there. He told me Robert was over at the house up the lane. So just as Bono was waking up next to me in the van, I drove up the lane to the top of the hill, and Robert was standing on the edge of the hill looking out across the valleys. He turned around towards us and Bono goes “Is that Robert Plant?” I said it was. He goes, “Does he come and have his tea here as well?”

Happy 60th Bono!

Enjoy your long walk - and a cuppa...☕️😉
