Taking my seat in The Spring’s compact auditorium my attention was drawn to the instruments on the stage. Banjo? Check. Guitars? Check. Harp? Check. Fiddle? Check. Spear & Jackson saw? Of course.

The setting is perfect for The Furrow Collective’s introspective, melancholic music. The audience are hushed and respectful, perhaps too much; the first attempt at a singalong was not a success. A second chance was offered in the second set for Poor Old Mare which most joined in with.

With three albums to choose from there were no shortage of familiar songs. Openers Davy Lowston and The Dark-Eyed Gypsies sat comfortably alongside older numbers like Wondrous Love and my favourite of the night Queen Eleanor’s Confession.
