Peter Brewis at the piano with The Week That Was Two thirds of Field Music reunited to play songs not by Field Music when School Of Language and The Week That Was took to the stage at Barfly.

Field Music may be on an indefinite hiatus, but the members of Field Music haven't left us wanting. We've already told you about David Brewis' fantastic School Of Language, and we're just as excited about Peter Brewis' The Week That Was. Full of dramatic crescendos, the odd orchestral flourish, and the sorts of songs you'll find yourself unconsciously humming throughout the day, TWTW is no less ambitious than Field Music, but still a bit......

You might not have noticed but Supergrass are playing at Barfly tomorrow night. Yes, a (once) gigantic band in a small venue and somehow tickets are still on sale. The reason is because they are performing under a 'secret' name - Diamond Hoo Ha Men - and playing songs from their new album. They're also a 2 piece temporarily since bassist Micky recently broke his back. Doors are at 7pm, and the boys will......
