The Furrow Collective


For the penultimate song of their tremendous performance in Norwich on Thursday evening, The Furrow Collective deployed that most underused of instrumental combinations - guitar, harp, banjo and musical saw, after which Emily Portman, Alasdair Roberts, Lucy Farrell and Rachel Newton stepped around the microphones to bid us farewell with a gorgeous unamplified reading of 'Blow Out the Moon', from their recent EP of the same name.

Oh my, oh my. That is so beautiful. I nearly cried. How come some people have so much talent?

It's an album I purchased immediately on release, but didn't spend nearly enough time with - until now! It's currently on heavy rotation at Swede Towers.
