I live in Bangor, Northern Ireland, a seaside town where I was born and raised. I play gigs on Fridays and Sundays in the local bars - the Jamaica Inn and the Rabbit Rooms respectively. I cover mix of oldies from Johnny Cash to Johnny Rotten.

I like playing pool, drinking Guinness, going to gigs, eating spicy food, and designing stuff on my Macbook. My favourite bands are Bob Dylan, Pearl Jam, Kula Shaker and NOFX. Folk Dope is the title of my 2018 full length album available on mint green vinyl pressed by Feedbands. All songs are original compositions.

Recognizing that modern-day music had a massive hole in it, Air of Water was created to fill the void where sincerity and songwriting used to thrive, all in a mission to lead the way in bringing back music that truly connects to the people out there listening.  Turning complex emotions, thoughts, and feelings into songs that are as moving as they are relatable, the raw & versatile sound of Air of Water knows no limitations – it is purely a mirror reflection held up to the world for all to see.  Embracing the positives & negatives of the human experience, Air of Water cleverly designs songs to make you think, consider, & turn up to hear more of what’s being said and the supreme melodies & music surrounding the words.

Originally coming from a couple of small rural villages in the Glens of Antrim and Belfast runabay are six musicians who through their passion for harmony and melody have been writing and recording since late December 2013.

Runabay are at the forefront of fresh, new music in Northern Ireland, a sound which has undeniably been shaped by the beautiful coastline which surrounds the Glens of Antrim and is felt through the swooping melodies and poignant lyrics. The band produce a mature sound that leaves the listener hanging on the intricate guitar riffs, mellow three part harmonies and haunting cello.

Notable highlights are national airplay on BBC 6Music with both Tom Robinson and Steve Lamacq's shows playing singles, airtime on RTE 2FM with Dan Hegarty, Today Fm with Louise Duffy, several plays on Amazing Radio with Charlie Ashcroft, Katheryn Tickell and Jim Gellatly. Massive local support from several shows on Radio Ulster (too many to thank there). Not forgetting KCLR Roddie Cleerie and Martin Bridgeman.

Spotify playlists have also picked up on the music coming from the Glens of Antrim with songs having success on a few high profile playlists like; Best of Indie Folk 2016, Alternative 2017 New Music Friday, Fresh Finds: Six Strings, Best of Ruby Sessions 2016 and Clans .: Vibes :.
