Event information

After releasing his new solo album Blowdry Colossus on 22 September, Peter Brewis of Field Music will be heading out on tour in November with his band of synth pirates including perennial collaborators, Sarah Hayes (Admiral Fallow, You Tell Me), Andrew Moore (Field Music, John Monroe) and of course, David Brewis (Field Music, School of Language, himself etc).

Songs from Blowdry Colossus will be played alongside classics from the Field Music cannon reimagined with synths – plus tracks from The Week That Was album, which will be getting their first airings in 15 years.

Special guest is Laura J Martin. Laura J Martin has so far released three critically acclaimed albums. Her latest, On The Never Never, was recorded in Nashville with members of Lambchop, Silver Jews and Jesus Lizard. A mercurial and bewitching live performer who interweaves layers of vocals, flute, mandolin and electronics, Laura and her band have toured regularly across the UK and Europe and supported acts such as PJ Harvey, Teenage Fanclub and Cate Le Bon, and performed and collaborated extensively with Euros Childs.

Consistently played and supported by BBC 6 Music DJs such as Marc Riley, Cerys Matthews, Lauren Laverne, Gideon Coe and Stuart Maconie, Laura’s most recent release was a collaborative project Wyndow, written with Lavinia Blackwall of Trembling Bells. Currently finalising her next solo album, Laura will be playing new material and songs from her wide catalogue.
