Following two months of contacting and interviewing internationally famous musicians and local Monmouth residents, collecting iconic objects and coordinating logistics, volunteer Sixth Formers from Monmouth Comprehensive are finally ready to unveil their special exhibition about Rockfield Studio.

Thanks to National Lottery players, visitors to the From Stables to Studios: The Story of Rockfield, Monmouth and Music exhibition will get a feel for what made the Rockfield experience so unique. Some interesting pieces to look out for are the acoustic guitar that Noel Gallagher used to record Oasis’s 1995 hit ‘Wonderwall’, the tambourine used by the Stone Roses on their album Second Coming, and Rockfield’s very own visitor books which have been made into an interactive touchscreen exhibit.

Karin Molson, who has helped co-ordinate the exhibition, said: “in over 20 years of working in museums I can’t remember being so excited about the opening of an exhibition. The students have been fantastic and have created a wonderfully inventive show that has something for everyone.”
