'Fieldwork meld an engaging Eastern-European gypsy style with a refreshingly forward-looking sense of English folk history.' Mojo Magazine

'One of the most innovative of today's folk groups' Rock 'n Reel Magazine

Nottingham's very own folk-fusion outfit, Fieldwork developed a sound that spanned different cultures and backgrounds before the world/roots tag became fashionable, and since 1984 they have performed extensively throughout the UK. Whilst some of their material is self-penned, a good deal is drawn from traditional sources, notably of the Chartist, political folk strand, and adapted to suit Fieldwork's contemporary sound and approach.

Alongside guitar, fiddle and harmonium, they feature a battery of percussion, and occasionally other instruments such as mbira, saz, tongue-drum, sitar and gopichand - lending an exotic touch to this innovative fusion of English, European and African influences.

'The formula has been refined to produce a unified and rewarding style' Folk Roots Magazine

'Direct - even stark - with a taste of Eastern Europe and a hint of Africa and the Mediterranean; what really impresses is the thoroughly English folkiness, as though a little eclecticism somehow points up and reinforces the root of their music' Leicester Mercury
