Two favourites of ours
OUR MAN IN THE FIELD
“A gem of a discovery” – BBC Radio 2 “Sensational, what a band” Bob Harris BBC
“Like a cross between The Waterboys and The War on Drugs” – Americana UK
After a landmark year in 2025 with appearances at Glastonbury, Hyde Park and the Royal Albert Hall, Our Man in the Field return to Newcastle for a special show at Cluny2.
The band, led by songwriter Alex Ellis, have been winning hearts across the UK, Europe and the US with their cinematic blend of folk, soul and Americana, and are now celebrating the release of their highly anticipated third album Silverado.
Recorded at Mark Knopfler’s British Grove Studios and produced by Dire Straits’ Guy Fletcher, Silverado features an extraordinary cast of collaborators, including slide guitar legend Sonny Landreth, producer/musician Ethan Johns, soul icon PP Arnold, and pedal steel maestro Rob McIntosh.
With glowing praise from radio and press alike, Our Man in the Field have established themselves as one of the UK’s most compelling live acts. Expect a night of stirring songs, soaring musicianship and stories that linger long after the last note fades.
