Binding Time – Songs & Stories from the Durham Coalfields
Since their first album was released in 2005, the Sunderland duo of Peter and David Brewis, have gained a reputation for an ambitious and intellectual approach to making music, their relentless creativity bringing them Mercury Award nominations, and endless plaudits from the critics. Their work has included film scores, collaborations, solo records, and a covers album, as well as a run of acclaimed albums of their own songs.
This new commission by BRASS and the Durham Miners Association sees Field Music create a new suite of songs inspired by the growth and decline of coal mining in the region, the struggles of mining communities, and the miners’ fraught path to achieving political representation. The songs are arranged to be performed by the Field Music band, along with a seven-piece brass section from the NASUWT Riverside Band.
Binding Time is commissioned by BRASS in a new partnership with the Durham Miners Association and funded by Arts Council England.
