LIVE REVIEW: FIELD MUSIC AT FUSION, SHEFFIELD
I just got back from seeing FIELD MUSIC at Sheffield University’s Fusion and they were bloody brilliant! Opening with Give It, Lose It, Take It (my favourite Field Music track, fact fans!) they played an amazing set, turning the initially unresponsive crowd into one calling for an encore at the end.
New album “Field Music (Measure)” got the strongest showing, with the title track and Clear Water particular highlights. Tracks from the Brewis brothers’ solo offerings also got an airing, including the excellent Rockist Part 1, alongside plenty of tracks from the band’s first two albums.
The band’s performance was super-tight, even on unscheduled encore track Let’s Write A Book, which they claimed never to have played live before. Similarly impressive were the group harmonies on A Gap Has Appeared and on excellent closer Tell Me, Keep Me.
Overall, a phenomenal performance from a hugely underrated band. If you haven’t done so already, check them out.
