The Ambience Affair is currently comprised of a Vocalist/Guitarist Jamie Clarke, and
drummer, Marc Gallagher; they have recently recruited a new live member, Yvonne
Ryan (bass/vocals/keys).
Jamie had been playing and writing alone up until two years ago when he met Marc
in the music shop where they both work. Marc went to one of Jamie’s gigs and they
then decided to form the band.
The songs are generally comprised by layering looped guitars, keyboards and
vocals combined with driving rhythms.
They have supported Field Music, Villagers, Peter Broderick, Jape & Fight Like
Apes among many others and released their second EP, 'Patterns', earlier this year.
They are currently in the studio working on their debut album and hope to release it
in the spring of next year.
Their song 'Parting Patterns' was recently placed in an episode of CSI:NY.

The Ambience Affair - Devil In The Detail

We Cut Corners play short songs on drums and guitar.
John and Conall met at teacher training college where they entered a talent contest
with a song called 'The Conall and John Song”. Thankfully, they've come a long
way since then.
They're currently recording an album with Jimmy Eadie (Jape, Valerie Francis) for
release in 2011.

"How a singing drummer and guitarist manage to weave such complex, compelling,
awe-inspiring songs with a sound so large you could be listening to a full band I’ll
never know" - Róisín Dwyer, Hotpress Magazine
"A breath of fresh air with a vitality and uniqueness that grabbed me immediately" -
Hugh Cornwell, The Stranglers
"These Dubliners are a minimalist guitar-and-drums set-up who, on a good day,
sound like Bright Eyes after he has elbowed his way into The White Stripes." -
Brian Boyd, Irish Times
"Brilliantly erudite tunes from a duo who put plenty of bang into their folksy pop" -
Jim Carroll, Irish Times
