It’s clear form the confidence and way that he carries himself on stage that Thomas Fersen had been performing since a young age, and I wasn’t surprised to hear that as a child he’d been part of a punk band before moving to his solo career. The thing I love about Fersen’s song writing is his lyrical ability, playing with language to create messages of depth from satirical puns, to recounting old fables. The way that he takes the daily mundane and manipulates it into something magical is really a great talent. Seeing him perform live actually made this narrative ability of his come across even stronger with everyone in the audience. The way that he engaged with every lyric in his songs and articulated each syllable with a perfect inflection made all of the tracks that much more relatable, it’s something that you really can’t appreciate on a recording.
From start to finish he was wonderful at relating with the audience, and for a selection of tracks, he even took some time out to chat to us about their origins and how he came up with the narratives, which was awesome to hear first hand. He played a great selection of his folk rock music, from his guitar lead tracks such as Qu4tre, and Le Bal Des Oiseaux, right through to his newer and more upbeat songs.
