THE MAGNETIC FIELDS (London Barbican, 22/03/10)



When I grow up, I want to be Stephen Merritt. The amiable grump is on sparkling form this evening, his subterranean baritone the perfect counterpoint to the sugar-sweet melodising of his songwriting, and even if the quality was somewhat uneven towards the end, the encore of “Papa Was A Rodeo” was worth the price of admission alone.
