"As they stated, they were there to 'stomp the shit out of the stage'. Right from the start of the set they succeeded with this aim - the jangly country acoustic vibe and amazing harmonies of their songs lodging in your head and refusing to budge. " Adrian Knight - Gigging NI "Upbeat and soulful songs which are full of spirit and tunes that endear you to sing along. They reminded me very much of the Waterboys. The Coastlines EP has that magical quality that made Fisherman’s Blues such a great album. Shift that 20 plus years on, add some great handclapping and footstompin and you have Farriers. This was a well thought out EP with a good range of upbeat and mellow songs that will have you reaching for the whiskey, in a good way." Folk Radio.co.uk
''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
"Easily some of the best stuff I've heard in Northern Ireland in quite some time." Scott Edgar, DeadOnMusic
"It's almost impossible to say a bad word about Farriers. Indeed, the only thing missing from their set was a "yeehaw" and a declaration of a hoedown from the stage. Farriers are one of the best folk bands in the Northern Irish music scene, and it's pretty clear to see why."
