They are Bristol’s most famous music export - but now Massive Attack are facing an uncertain future and say they are in danger of being pushed out of the city due to gentrification.
The band’s Rob del Naja has told Bristol Live they are being evicted from their current recording studio in Bedminster by property developers - and are facing frustration in their attempts to buy their original spiritual home, the Christchurch Recording Studio in Clifton, where they made two of their iconic albums.
The sale of the studio building in Clifton has been confirmed by its owners, the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, with fears they could sell to the highest bidder - who are likely to be property developers wanting to turn the historic cultural centre into upmarket flats.
