Brian Houston is from Belfast and is one of the UK's finest singer/ songwriters. As heard live on Radio 2's Bob Harris show his brand of lively and passionate folk rock demonstrates his finely tuned melodic sense and clever, astutely commercial writer's ear. Houston is a natural communicator, an extremely unpretentious artist, and a definitive crowd-pleaser. He ensures that there is heartfelt lyrical substance behind every song, a glimpse of his easy humorous rapport with an audience, ensures that they always leave with a copy of his CD and a smile.

He has opened for people such as Elvis Costello, Dr John and Van Morrison and in 2004 released the acclaimed album Thirteen Days which was declared Alt Country album of the year by BBC Radio Ulster. Again garnering airplay on Radio 2, this album also lead to a glowing review in Paste Magazine in America. His new CD Sugar Queen is already his biggest seller.

Clara Kousah is a singer/songwriter from Cambridge with a wonderfully rich, spell-binding voice and a writing style that staggers from the deeply emotional to a light and trouble-free carelessness.
She has been described as sounding like a cross between Joni Mitchell and Siouxsie and the Banshees, with hints of Evanescence, All About Eve and Ani DiFranco in the mix, and describes her own influences as ranging from the likes of Suzanne Vega to metal heads Megadeth.

Barfly closed June 2008

tomadams — Thu, 01 May 2008 11:15:31 +0000

It's no mean achievement then, that in a few short years the Barfly has earned a status which ranks it alongside the illustrious names as Hacienda, Marquee and the Cavern.
It wasn't always so. The beginnings, in a pub on the outskirts of Camden in late 1996, were as humble as the subsequent years have been impressive. In those early days the stench of the less than salubrious toilets would have been enough to put off even the most hardened gig-goer, had it not been for the quality of music pounding out from the PA in the Falcon's dark, dingy back room. But soon-to-be-big bands were, from day one, a key ingredient, bringing with them an endless line of discerning music fans. Stereophonics played several times in their early, formative years, as did the likes of Death in Vegas, Feeder, Coldplay, Muse, Doves and... just about any other band who've tasted success in the last five years! As London listings magazine Time Out put it, Barfly was (and still is) firmly established as THE place to go to "glimpse the stars of the future". Even Noel Gallagher (never a man to mince his words!) was moved to comment that Barfly was " Ten years ahead of anybody's time".

A move, in March 2000, to the Monarch, a few hundred yards away at the other end of Camden, has only served to make things better, the larger venue allowing even more music fans to cram inside.

Since the move, Barfly has played host to, amongst others, The Strokes, The Vines, Starsailor, Wheatus, Elbow, The Cooper Temple Clause and The Electric Soft Parade, not to mention being the main venue for filming of the still-talked-about Barfly Sessions TV series (which included the likes of Coldplay, Muse, JJ72 and Badly Drawn Boy).
