Malmesbury Acoustic Sessions

07/10/2023

Our Man In The Field. Their music? You can't put your finger on it and maybe you don't need to anyway. It lies somewhere between indie, folk and Americana; basically just a band playing the songs that come to them about the things they were moved enough by to write down.
The Kings Arms, Malmesbury Acoustic Sessions, Sat 14th October.

Our first gig of the Malmesbury Live Arts season kicks off on Sat 14th October and we can't wait to welcome Our Man In The Field to the The Kings Arms. They're beautiful British Roots/Americana (and they do it sooo well!) coming over to give us a taster of their upcoming album just before it launches in November. Having seen this band earlier this year I just know we're gonna totally fall in love with them. Ticket link in the comments.

Our Man In The Field's Swansong played live at BBC Introducing 2019 at The Rattle in To***co Dock London.

What a fab gig last weekend. It was such an honour to have Ben Ottewell over to Malmesbury, and I’ve only just noticed that night marked 12 years of Malmesbury Acoustic Sessions - yes, gosh! And now that we’re under the very supportive wings of the epic Malmesbury Live Arts crew and if you all keep turning up, we may even have another 12 years in us you never know! But for now, be glad that we can reminisce with RupertBarker Photographer’s superb pics of last weekend - thank you Rupert. 👊

Looks like we’re actually back! The new KA stage is proper solid and the backdrop hasn’t gone mouldy in lockdown. Happy days! Now who’s going to have the last 2 tickets to see The Drystones tomorrow night?

You may or may not have heard that Malmesbury Acoustic Sessions is back! And we’re now under the very supportive umbrella of Malmesbury Live Arts. We’re so very grateful to their experienced team of volunteer events people for taking us under their wing.

But this new relationship is only going to work if we smash it, together. And this may come a slight surprise but our first gig this year is going to be delivered as part of the first Malmesbury Live Arts season by The Drystones!

Those of you who are Malmesbury Acoustic stalwarts who will have seen them back in the early days and may wonder how those 2 young lads from Priddy can totally smash it like they need to for us now. But they absolutely will - their new album really is mind blowing. It’s the kind of progression in music that will actually change things, if you ask me.

They are genuinely rewriting folk music. And we’re all over them. There is no doubt that this gig will be a significant moment in Malmesbury Acoustic history and their upcoming tour (which they’ve generously included us on) will definitely throw waves over over the folk genre.

If you’ve ever been to a Malmesbury Acoustic gig and liked it, you need to be at this one. There are important changes happening here. And we really hope you’ll continue to be a part of that progression with us. Tickets here: https://malmesbury-live-arts.org.uk/drystones
