Built by Beatles’ producer Sir George Martin, AIR Studios Montserrat was the birthplace of mega-hits such as Money for Nothingand Every Breath You Take. For a decade, the studioformed the backdrop to monumental events in music history including the break-up of The Police, the reunion of The Rolling Stones, and the reinvigoration of Paul McCartney after the tragic murder of John Lennon. After a decade of hits, and at the peak of its popularity, the studio was destroyed when the island was hit by a series of devastating natural disasters. Through personal accounts and backed by a blistering soundtrack, Under the Volcano is the definitive account of George Martin’s Studio, a place that generated a perfect storm of talent, technology and isolation, ushering in music that would live on long after the last tape rolled.
