David C Clements, The Farriers , Little Bear

David C. Clements has been playing music throughout the UK and Europe for the past decade. Although his current guise has only been implemented from the turn of 2012, he previously fronted up Belfast act, Six Star Hotel. With a series of European tours, and a few critically acclaimed albums, he knew it was time for a change. He first dabbled in producing records local acts, such as the Lowly Knights and Napoelon, but we all knew he’d not stay off the road for long.

David C Clements, as a musical project, was born on 1st January 2012. Throughout the opening few months of 2012 David has released three two track EPs online, this has caused quite the stir throughout the industry, gaining him viral support from Two Door Cinema Club, a live session on BBC Radio One, a show at Union Chapel London, a channel 4 advert, a Day Trotter session and a plethora of local radio support.

“David has the voice of a melancholy angel. He has a rare ear for melody and lyrics that hit right at the heart of the human condition.” – Paul McClean, BBC Radio Ulster.

”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

Little Bear are a four piece band from Derry-Londonderry Northern Ireland playing emotionally literate rock, and are made up of Steven McCool (Bass and vocals), Mark O’Doherty (Drums), Ryan Griffiths (Guitar), and Conor Mason (Piano).
