FARRIERS

Debut album title  'Years Ago In Our Backyard'

(Rootsy/Stompy/Alt Folk Band from Northern Ireland)

Once upon a time (around about 3 years ago) in a land cocooned by gloomy skies, drizzle and many folk suffering from seasonal affective disorder, there formed a little group of friends all with a spirituous hanker to make music and write songs from the heart.
‘Lets start a band’ we all said, that’ll cheer us up wont it? And, it actually did!

We would get together by a rip-roaring fire with our instruments, little notebooks and the essential few bottles of the red stuff to get ourselves going. Soon we had songs galore and started to hurl them out on every stage we were given the opportunity to stomp on.

In the summer of 2009 we released our first 5 track EP called ‘Coastlines’. This was handsomely produced by our friend Paul Steen, in the Garage beside his humble abode in Newtownards. Since then we have had a good bit of whooping and hollering from jolly and wonderfully supportive crowds all around our wee bit of the country. This was the turning point for Farriers, this is when we became dead set on getting our music out there to as many keen ears as possible.

Now our very first Album is at long last on its way. It has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride of sheer pleasure balanced with grueling uphill climbs at times, but we’ve done it, and we are damn proud of ourselves and forever grateful to all those who have encouraged us along the way. We have learned that this is what it takes for us to thrive and we are very excited to be so close to releasing what we strongly believe is a brilliant record.

What is our project?

We have just finished recording our debut album and our hearts are bursting to get it out there. We are hoping to release hard pressed CD copies of the album this winter exclusively to everyone who gets involved in backing our project. We have completed the recording of all 11 tracks and have so far only raised enough money through our gigs to pay the studio fee. We still need to Mix and Master the record, get the hard pressed CDs & special covers made for distribution, some bespoke merchandise and marketing and PR.

How can you be involved?

Well, you are the ones who make this all come to life. We have given a lot of thought  to the rewards  in return for your kind donations. Please check out what they are on the right hand side of this screen.

Another great way to support the release of this album is to tell as many people as possible about our pitch via word of mouth, facebook, twitter and so on. We need to reach as many keen donators as possible to ensure that everyone is a winner. Lets make it happen. We have just 30 DAYS to reach our target.

When will you receive your reward?

During the 30 days of our pitch, we will be getting the album mixed and mastered.  If we raise the amount of money we need to complete the rest of the album process by the end of the 30 days then we will be sending away the mastered tracks & cover designs to get the Album & other merch fully manufactured.  We expect this to take up to a month.  Our aim is to have the album and merch rewards delivered to you in time for Christmas.  Other rewards such as private gigs & the dinner party can be rewarded from now onwards to whatever date suits the donators and the band.  

Everyone who has donated for the Album or MP3 track, should receive them well in advance of the official launch date in February or March 2012

How can you get in touch with us directly?

If you have any questions/thoughts or queries, you can email us on We would love to hear from you.

Also you can find us on facebook, twitter, bandcamp, cd baby
Myspace, itunes & youtube. Just type in Farriers or Farriers music and you should find us quite easily.

We thank you with all our hearts for getting involved. You will be helping us do what we love for many more days to come.

Note: EVERYONE who donates towards our project will have their name printed on the inside of the Album cover.

Thank you ever so kindly...
