Live music review: Wainwright Sisters - Ballincollig Winter Music Festival

Bedecked in matching knee-length frocks, shaped like Scrooge’s nightshirt and patterned like a 1970s pair of curtains, Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche really are mad, mad fun.

“Our brother Rufus sent us these terrible dresses,” says Martha at the White Horse in Ballincollig, Co Cork. “We thought we would never wear them, but we’ve just done our last four shows in them, so they’re smelling really bad by now; keep your distance.”
