Rockfield Studios

Bohemian Rhapsody has hit #1 in the film charts, as well as picking up four awards in this year's Oscars, becoming the fastest-selling digital download movie EVER in the UK.
听
The track itself was recorded just over the Herefordshire border at Rockfield studios - and they still have the piano it was played on and use it on tracks to this day. Other artists to have recorded songs with it include Coldplay's Chris Martin and it was also the backbone to What's The Story Morning Glory by Oasis.
听
Rockfield is now run by Lisa Ward, who was just a child when Queen were living and recording there. We went to have a look around with Lisa - and Paul Cobbald, who鈥檚 one of the original studio engineers.

主播大秀 Music Introducing in Ledbury

This month's sessions were recorded at Ledbury's Market Theatre which has quite the history...
听
It's owned by the Ledbury Amateur Dramatic Society and built on the site of the old Market Theatre which used the be the only venue of its kind in Herefordshire for 18 years! That was between 1961 and 1979.
听
The old theatre almost burnt down in the '80s by an accidental fire behind the building - but the damage was repaired by young offenders.
听
Then, over 10 years later, when it was being demolished to make way for the theatre we see today, it caught fire AGAIN - which the dramatic society say could have been the poltergeist of the old building refusing to be upstaged and insisting on going out in style!
听
Nowadays, it's run entirely by volunteers and they host a range of performances from plays to state-of-the-art cinema screenings and music events.
