The village chapel and the naked rock star

Secret Lincolnshire

Available for over a year

Rural Lincolnshire is home to a unique recording studio based in a former chapel. Big names like Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs, Simple Minds, Wet Wet Wet, The Darkness and Catfish And The Bottlemen recorded some of their biggest hits at Chapel Studios. It began when Andy Dransfield started a band and set up a DIY studio in a shed in one of their gardens - but when one of his friends bought the old chapel in South Thoresby, things really took off. Produced & narrated by Patrycja Boryka. Image: Getty.
