Great concert of Fink in Madrid on November the 5th, 2017. The Barcelo theater completed its capacity. There was a very good atmosphere, with a very varied audience in age and style. The concert took a while to begin, with an introductory video about the music recording history that lasted too long. There were some whistles from the public, impatient to hear Fink and his band. Finally, Fink trio accompanied with two more musicians came on stage between ovations. A good staging with an excellent game of lighting and smoke on the stage that provided the right intimate atmosphere for Fink's hypnotic music. The five musicians played two batteries, 12 guitars and a keyboard throughout the concert to review the classic themes of Fink in addition to presenting their latest songs. The personal voice of Fin Greenall is framed and highlighted by these excellent musicians. The band's drummer Tim Thornton is especially notable for its versatility and musical abilities, and bass Guy Whittaker displays lots of mastery and sympathy. All have a great stage presence and personality.The audience was enthusiastic, chanting and accompanying songs with slaps. The band looked very comfortable on stage, really enjoying the good atmosphere of the concert. There were two encores and the audience was very satisfied. In one of his interventions, all in English, Fink promised to return to Madrid.
Being part of a Fink’ gig is not simply watching some guys playing music. It’s an experience far beyond that.
With just a Spanish guitar and his terrific voice, Fin Greenall will take you on a musical journey that goes from dim bluesy atmospheres to heart-warming acoustic tunes; this with the enthralling company of a talented drummer (Guy Whittaker) and bassist (Tim Thornton).
As for me, Fink’s concert was a rollercoaster of emotions: I woke up joyful with Biscuits for breakfast, perceived an ancestral strength through Fear Is Like Fire, discovered something new about myself with Make It Good, felt funky with the fresh Hard Believer, and suddenly it was over with the melancholic notes of Warm Shadow. Nevertheless, there is no need to worry because Nothing Is Ever Finished. As Greenall’s musical career that began when his unique voice and the technical ability of his friends Guy and Tim convinced the electronic-oriented Ninja Tune label to start the Indie-Rock project that started it all.
Fink is now a re-newed band that just released their 6th Album, Hard Believer and they are ready to present it to the world with a full summer schedule, so don’t miss this opportunity to see them live.
Cornish singer/songwriter Fin Greenall better known by his stage name Fink can boast to having tried a huge array of genres before settling on his preferred style. Over his career that now spans over fifteen years Fink has dabbled in blues, dub, electro, folk and indie. His 2006 album 'Biscuits For Breakfast' saw him pitch a flag in the ground of the indie territory and since then has allowed Fink to refer to the collective touring trio of himself along with Tim Thornton and Guy Whittaker.
The group has a cult like following for their sound and the albums have taken them around the world many times. The stage show still remains purposefully stripped back, featuring the three musicians jamming to the indie/folk stylings of 'Yesterday Was Hard on All of Us'. The lyrical content appears to have resonated with the audience who sing back choruses in force much to the surprise and bemusement of Fin himself. The moderately successful 'This Is The Thing' receives a small amount of whoops from the crowd yet it is the closer of 'Berlin Sunrise' that really blows the crowd away and receives a round of applause that could lift the roof straight off.
It was the first time that I listened and watched Fink live on stage.
On purpose I went to Amsterdam and watched them live. It was an incredible experience.
Acoustically, the venue was superb as well. Obviously the sound engineer knew what he was doing. The sound was perfect.
The gates opened at 6:30 p.m. and it was a good idea waiting at the door so that we could get the front seats. At 8:00 p.m. Sophie Hunger (Swiss singer songwriter living in Berlin) was on stage because she was the support musician for Fink. Sophie Hunger and her drum player friend was just fantastic on their 40 minutes performance. Her guitar playing technique, lyrics, her voice, the overall sound was stunning. I wish this performance lasted longer.
I haven't seen the electric guitar, violin and keyboard player (just one guy playing all) before playing with Fink. He was a real Swiss Knife. He added a certain value to the band. Great musician...
Stage lighting design, acoustics and sound were all spotless.
Congratulations to all Fink members, AFAS Live as the venue, and all the staff for creating such a beauty.
This is my first review on this website despite having been to many shows recently. I feel the need to write this because seeing Fink left such an incredible impression on me that I just have to share this with others.
I was expecting Fink to be good as I enjoyed listening Fin's music, especially the acoustic guitar pieces. But this live show was just... incredible. It went above and beyond all of my expectations. To me, there are certain musicians who can create such an immersive experience with their live shows that they can simply transport you to a different dimension. They create an almost otherwordly atmosphere in which you can lose yourself in if you really allow yourself to.
I know the above sounds really trippy but this is the only way I can begin to describe this experience. Other artists who have created a similar atmosphere for me have been Eddie Vedder, Glen Hansard, Mark Lanegan, U2 and Rodrigo & Gabriela.
I basically can't recommend going to a live Fink show enough. This was my first one and I will now try to see him every chance I get. This was pure magic.
Incredible! Simply incredible! I saw both California shows this weekend, both were stellar. I've been closely following this band for a few years I had yet to see them until now. If you're familiar with fink you will know how clean and crisp they are, live is even more so. These guys are razor sharp! The selfish part of me wants them to keep playing the smaller venues,but these guys deserve to be heard by way more folks than can fit in any of these.
The bottom line is if you enjoy live music you need to do yourself a favor and check these guys out. If you need a preview check out the live studio series 2 Meter Sessies or the current album cuts in the KCRW studios in LA. Both series can be found on Youtube.
What an Awesome show! Fin played a really good mix of old-new material and all by himself on an acoustic and I can’t believe how close to him we were in the City Winery Venue and the Sound quality is just amazing in that room! Even the bathrooms sound really good!
I have to say I would want to see anyone of interest in this place just an amazing venue and Fink at the helm it was just an amazing night!
And then Fin came out and met everyone who stayed,signed autographs and took the time to talk with everyone what great musician ,hope he does it again soon!
The Jazz Cafe (Camden) was the perfect venue to see this band; an intimate small space with a great view. As to the performance, Fink were spectacular on all levels. Blues with an edge, Finn did say what was a white man from Cornwall doing singing the blues? Well, he pulled it off in his own unique stlye.The band were faultless, great rythmn and musicianship, jamming through a few songs and above all looking as though they were enjoying every moment. What a treat!
Their show in Vienna was simply great! However I didn't quite get the 'support' act - a video showing you through music history, I suppose. To be fair, I didn't really pay attention, as I was talking to my friends. As soon as the actual show started though, all eyes were on the band. The lead singer's voice accompanied by intense guitar tunes and base drums filled the whole room. One song better than the last they really just delivered!
Fink, keep going!
Brilliant concert.
A cd can never capture the feeling of being there, being in the moment.
Excellent musicians, all of them, especially the drummer and the bass player.
"Fink himself" is a great singer and performer, with tenderness and roughness in his voice and guitarplaying.
I'm happy to have been there!
