Heckmondwike Sound Recording Studios

Heckmondwike hosts Sammy King gives us a fascinating insight into work in a 1970s music studio and records ‘Where do we go from here?’ (1975).

This absorbing film captures an exciting behind-the-scenes look at musical inspiration and creation. The film begins with singer Sammy King performing his new song in the studio, then progresses to interesting interviews with King and his colleagues on the inspirations behind his song. We close on beautiful wide shots of Heckmondwike’s countryside as King’s new song plays in the background.

Roy Orbison (1936-1988) is often touted as a rock-and-roll pioneer in the second half of the 20th Century. In addition to ‘Penny Arcade’, one of Roy Orbison’s greatest hits, Sammy King also wrote ‘Say No More’, ‘I Got Nothing’, and ‘After Tonight’ for Orbison.
