Memories from writing  LEGENDS AT ROCKFIELD - Extract from chapter 5 - Motorhead ROCK LEGENDS AT ROCKFIELD by Jeff Collins (University of Wales Press) Available for pre-order on Amazon, Waterstones, WHSmith, Walmart and many many others. Chapter Five -- Motorhead. This chapter is about the band's painful birth at Rockfield. The band recorded their first album in 1975. Lemmy himself says "Motorhead were born at Rockfield". These two extracts, the first is about the first fews gigs played by Motorhead after Lemmy was sacked by Hawkwind. The second one is about dissent in the band over the appointment of Dave Edmunds as producer of their first album at Rockfield. ENJOY!!!!! 'Lemmy got chucked out of Hawkwind when they were crossing the border from Canada to America,' says former Motorhead guitarist Larry Wallis. 'I was sitting around at home not doing very much, when Lemmy phoned up and said "I've just been thrown out of H...

Ive been very privileged to have spent 30 years Presenting and Newsreading on radio and TV.

ROCK LEGENDS AT ROCKFIELD - Extracts from chapter 9 - ROBERT PLANT ROCK LEGENDS AT ROCKFIELD - Extract from Chapter Nine --- Robert Plant:  Led Zeppelin legend rediscovers himself in the pubs and studios at Monmouth. This is the latest in the extracts from my book on Rockfield which shows behind the scenes of the making of some of the greatest rock records of all time including Queen, Black Sabbath, Rush, Motorhead, Judas priest etc etc. On May 15th 2006 I reunited Robert Plant with his first solo band. They recorded Pictures At Eleven and Principle of Moments at Rockfield from 1981. Drummer Phil Collins couldn't make it as he was in New York working on the musical Tarzan. In the first of these two extracts, I read out an email Phil has sent to me to read to his friends and former bandmates. In the second - Robert relates some of the stories about how the songs got their names. Enjoy!!!! At Rockfield, Robert Plant greets me and my friend and photographer ...

Rock LEGENDS AT ROCKFIELD - Extracts from chapter 6 - Queen Memories of writing my 1st Book - Rock Legends at Rockfield (University of Wales Press) I've included here three extracts from Chapter Six which focuses on Queen. In the first extract Roadie Paul Hince talks about recording the album Night at the Opera and in particular Bohemian Rhapsody at Rockfield as well as working at a number of other recording studios and the chaos this caused. In the second, producer Roy Thomas Baker looks at the creation of Bohemian Rhapsody. And in the third, members of Tigertailz and The Darkness talk about being inspired by Queen during their times at Rockfield. EXTRACTS FROM CHAPTER SIX Given the chaotic recording arrangements, Queen roadie Peter Hince spent a good deal of time traveling between studios and would probably have been better off being paid by the mile than the hour! As such his time at Rockfield was limited. ‘I only spent a brief time in Wales. I ...
