£32 to go to Digital?? Two words… blow me.

The Field delivered a cracking early show at Brighton’s Audio on Wednesday. So much so that it left me feeling annoyed at having to go home in preparation for work the next day. It’s sad I know but the pain of midweek adventures outweighs the pleasures these days. This would have been a perfect Friday / Saturday slot filler… the hour long gig could have so easily have fitted into an entire night.

Okay, I’ll admit it: when I first got an inkling about Beachdown going kapput on Tuesday night I wasn’t at all gutted.

Shockingly, It really has been a while since we’ve been down to Audio. Damn busy hibernating over the Christmas period and striding through the most mundane of months January.
