Peter's Field

Peter’s Field is an epic musical chronicle that tells the story of one of the most important days in working class history: The Peterloo Massacre of 1819.  The show is born from years of research and comprises nineteen original songs by Cooney, performed with folk musicians Rowan Rheingans (Lady Maisery, The Rheingans Sisters) and Sam Carter (The Magpie Arc & solo work), alongside a compelling spoken narrative derived from hundreds of eyewitness accounts.
