Farleigh

Hi there! We are a new British band called Farleigh.

We formed the band almost by accident. All of us are session musicians, and we were asked individually to come in to a brand new studio and put it through its paces. Harry mentioned he had a couple of songs he had written, so we decided to record them, and thus Farleigh was born.

With free access to a top studio, we virtually lived in the live room, playing around with ideas, until we found a sound that we all loved. In this fortunate position we focussed our attention on creating a tight live set. Well we believe we've done just that! We've taken influences from bands and musicians such as, Coldplay, Jeff Buckley, Foo Fighters, Incubus, Porcupine Tree, Ben Folds, Red Hot Chili Peppers, as well as bands such as The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Steely Dan.

All of us have performance degrees in Jazz. With such an eclectic mix of influences, we certainly have a unique sound. We believe the world is ready for Farleigh!

Instrumentation:
Harry Lightfoot - Lead Vocals/Guitar/Keys
Pete Robertson - Drums/Backing Vocals
Martyn Spencer - Bass/Backing Vocals
Joe Archer - Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals

“Gentle, melodic, occassionally rocking. It's not gonna blow your ears off, rather slide gently into your brain and swish around tunefully before taking up residence. Peculiarly, this is the kind of music which would sound good in a car on a long road trip”
