TUESDAY BLUES! Fink - This is the thing

Fink - This is the thing (2007)

Fink (Fin Greenhall) is an English singer, songwriter and DJ who has collaborated with John Legend, Professor Green and even co-wrote the song "Half Time" with Amy Winehouse which appears on her posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures.  Flycasual first introduced me to him with his album "Biscuits for Breakfast", which features the Alison Moyet cover "All cried out".  His most recent album is 2011's Perfect Darkness, check out his website where you can download some great tracks, there's also a great cover of Nirvana's 'In Bloom'.

Fink - "...can you hear the rave tent?"

Fink though will always remind me of the time I took Flycasual & my buddy Carl on a stag weekend to the Lowlands festival.  We arrived late and had to find a pitch for our tent, and when we noticed that the main camping area was full we thought we'd struck lucky when we found an empty nearby forest where we put our tent up. Once the tent was up (several hours later - none of us had been boy scouts!), we were off, beer, falafels & an eclectic choice of music - bloody brilliant! After a few beers we head back to the tent and then it hit us - the reason why there were no other campers around was that we'd put the tent up opposite the all night rave tent. So with no sleep all weekend, the acoustic tent was our solitude and that's where we watched Fink perform!!!
