Grant Kingsley Ward (Rockfield Studios) a CBE

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Help Kingsley to gain the long overdue recognition he so richly deserves.
Kingsley is a founder of Rockfield Recording Studios in Monmouth (Wales). These studios have had some of the biggest artists of all time record there. From Oasis, The Stone Roses, Queen, Coldplay, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne. The list goes on and on. He has never been given the recognition he deserves for his service to British. Without him and his Recording studio some of the top selling albums of all time may never have been recorded.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

The Government will only accept individual nominations, not petitions, so we can’t publish your petition.
