MONIO - 2009
''The sound of Farriers is one of an amalgamation of Irish traditional and American folk music. There's clear chemistry between Rachel Coulter and Stephen Macartney and a great appreciation of harmonies. 'The Last Long Evening' featured one of those irritatingly simple melodies that are just impossible to get out of your head, while the soft and tender vocals of Rachel and Stephen at the end create this warm and rich sound. A thumbs up for sure.'' Patrick Kane - Across The Line BBC
"Easily some of the best stuff I've heard in Northern Ireland in quite some time." Scott Edgar, DeadOnMusic
all is well in the USA...plenty of fast food, bad tv, and the quiet security of knowing that we could still drop a load of nuclear weapons on anyone that bugs us too much...finished up in the studio yetsterday and have a couple tracks i can email you...send me your emails on FB and I will get them to you.
Hi Stephen yeh man finally! We filled up two reels of tape last week and we're mixing it at the end of the month. New EP getting printed asap but it probably wont be out til the new year at this rate.
