Chorthippus brunneus, the common field grasshopper, is a species of grasshopper found across Europe, much of Asia and North Africa. It is common in mostly dry and often sparse grassland, from the beginning of summer until October. It is very hairy below the thorax. Its song consist of short shirps like time-signal pips.

Thanks to DerbyshireDave (& son!) and Ian-S for helping me to ID this fella!
