Arborist – Dreaming In Another Language

Looks like we got ourselves a singer.

Northern songsmith Mark McCambridge (top) has fun when given the run of No Alibis Bookshop in Belfast where he creates a mesmerising soundscape for his poetic musings.

The film was shot by Sam O’Mahony and Tristan Crowe.

Nick says: Tome it may concern.

Mick Flannery & Susan O’Neill – Freedom

Water, water everywhere…

Beloved songwriting duo Mick Flannery and Susan O’Neill (top) make a splash with the latest single from their album In The Game.

The video was co-directed and edited by album videographer Christopher Luke, and filmed on location in Doolin, county Clare, on Ireland’s west coast by renowned underwater cameraman and director Kev. L Smith.

Speaking about the filming, Susan says:

“I tied weights to my waist, put on my dad’s suit and submerged myself in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Doolin. It was great working with Kev L Smith on this video. Thanks to Christopher Luke for his creative input and edit. I hope ye enjoy.”

Pa Sheehy – Through The Fields

Fields of gold.

Former Walking On Cars frontman Pa Sheehy (top) hits another home run with the latest single from his solo EP The Art Of Disappearing.

Pa says:

“The EP title comes from my need to go away from social media and the world to make something. I used to love artists and bands who would stay low key for two years and then announce that they’ve got a new record. That excites me so much.

“So this EP is what I’ve created in my reclusive state. Songs that I’ve written and recorded but only truly come to life when released. ‘Through The Fields’ is a song where I wanted to capture the sense of community in a small town when a family is faced with loss. The first verse paints my childhood Sundays while verse two brings up the realities of saying goodbye to someone.”

Nick says: Kerry gold.
