Farmer is a songwriter, poet, and verser from Desertmartin, Northern Ireland. 

Formerly Sons Of Caliber, he has supported artists such as Nathaniel Rateliff, The Staves, and Gemma Hayes, and has played many of NI's most prominent local venues and beloved festivals including Glasgowbury, Open House, and Stendhal.

His new record Amelanchier, due for release this summer, is a post-folk murmuration idling along electronic borders and exploring the aquiferous terrain of paraphonic tone. 

For it seems that this recently absent and weathered artist has fully emerged again, from the deep forests of his own inner auguries, having spent the last few years burnishing the rugged, idiomatic landscapes of his hermetic sound.

His recent work is an ode to residency, a soundtrack to intention resonating throughout…to simpler, and perhaps blither, times on this island.

He readily flits across bloodlines, townlands, and districts in a bid to furnish listeners with his take on what it truly means to dwell on this island. 

There is a percussive defiance carved into the bark of this offering, a non-dual isotope that bleeds into the eternal memory. 

Accompanying the music is a collection of lyrics and poetry titled Motalee; a body of work with an unwavering allegiance to the soil and a deep longing for the quiet. Together they assemble an arboricultural amplifier designed to allure patrons ever closer to an analogical earth. 

This melodic hybrid welds song and spoken word into a systemically subsumed score.

Dublin / Belfast  based Amidships specialise in an infectious blend of atmospheric indie. Their songs have been featured on the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing, BBC 6 Music, RTE 2FM, Phantom, TXFM, and have also attracted sync on BBC TV, RTE TV, and campaigns for the National Youth Theatre (UK) and Tourism Ireland. The band have also featured at festivals such as Electric Picnic (Ireland)and the Sofar Sounds Festival (UK) and count themselves as touring buddies of artists such as Elbow, Villagers, Frightened Rabbit, Augustines, Snow Patrol, The Buzzcocks, and Glasvegas.

"With such a prodigious talent, Rebekah is only going to get better and better over the next few years." -The Metaphorical Boat

"At the tender age of sixteen, Rebekah's Soundcloud is choc-full of great demos showcasing a natural ability on keys and guitar as well as a soulful voice that reminds me, in the nicest possible way, of a young Juliet Turner." - Folk and Tumble

"A demo of gentle beauty and delicate excellence displaying a versatility rare for even the most accomplished songwriter....Startlingly assured for one so young, Wilson's clarity and tone are filled with promise...this really is impressive." - Encore NI on "One Day More".

"The excitement surrounding her debut single rates higher than most local releases you can expect this year." - Encore NI

"'Reprieve' is a delightful dichotomy of hard and soft. It’s a little bit pop, and a little bit punk; think PVRIS or Paramore; and is utterly enjoyable." - GiggingNI

"['Nothing...'] not only delivers on the promise that her earlier songs shown, but smashes right through it. - The Metaphorical Boat
