BBC Radio 1’s Phil Taggart: “The trail of new music is shivering it’s November bones around the coastline to Portrush’s Atlantic Bar on Friday 16th of November. It will be my first ever Slacker Night on the North Coast. We have a string of acts that I am very excited about and that I’ve been a fan of and been playing on my shows on BBC Radio 1. All Tvvins are an incredible act who’ve traversed the globe and are making their North Coast debut at Atlantic Sessions. Full facilitating media node Michael McCullagh brings his musical slide show to town with Son of the Hound, Brand New Friend continue their endless rise as the indie darlings of Northern Ireland while Susie Blue puts the fear of God into the aforementioned acts by absolutely killing it on the first spot.”

Third Bar is run by Gary Lightbody and Davy Matchett who have curated a very special line up for Atlantic Sessions featuring David C Clements / Rosborough / Strange New Places.
Gary Lightbody commented:
David C Clements is one of the most extraordinary voices and songwriters to come from NI in many years. His album, The Longest Day In History, is a masterpiece. It should have been one of the biggest albums of 2016 and he should be playing arenas. He certainly writes songs that would fit perfectly in them. His next album could be even better and that’s what’s exciting: there is even better to come from him. A terrifying thought really given what he has already written. If you haven’t already heard the album or heard him sing live, then please do. Anyone I have ever turned on to his stuff has thanked me and become a fan for life. Big build up, I know, but I don’t say it lightly.
Rosborough is of the extraordinary new breed from Derry/Londonderry (something in the water up there). A songwriter of immense skill and grace and boy can he turn a phrase! Burn Blue is one of my favourite songs from a Northern Irish artist from the last ten years with a chorus to kill for.
Strange New Places are a band to swoon to. Ashley Jones, the lead singer’s delivery and lyrics are some of the finest of any band from NI. The song Trombone demands multiple listens as which each a new layer unfolds. And that’s the thing with Strange New Places, they reveal so much the more you hear them. I’ve had the privilege of hearing some new songs they are working on and one of those songs called “this city” is just stunning. An ode to feeling at odds with everything around you and the isolation and heartbreak that can stem from it. If we can just get to a new city, a new place then things would be better. But then, that isn’t true. Wherever we are, there we are. And this band writes so beautifully about that. What would we say to ourselves if we were brave enough be honest. A wonderful band.

The story of the band is the story of 5 guys from Northern Ireland who have been playing music all their lives. Having crossed paths frequently over the years they came together as Blackwater Conspiracy in the Summer of 2015, formed from the ashes of two of the country’s most popular local bands, Million Dollar Reload and Swanee River.
