Limerick band Windings bring new music to the table

The veterans of the Limerick music scene are among the acts on their way to Other Voices in Dingle over the weekend, writes Eoghan O’Sullivan

THOUGH he may not be too pleased with it, Steve Ryan accepts that he and his band Windings are now established elder statesmen of the Irish music scene. They’ve recently released their fourth album, Be Honest and Fear Not, an intriguing, intense, and satisfying record that’s their best to date. Windings are also one of the most established acts playing Other Voices in Dingle this weekend — only Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, Lisa Hannigan, and David Kitt could claim such seniority.

Ryan is delighted to be among the lineup. “It used to be a thing that every band I knew wanted to do the Late Late Show and that’s just not a thing anymore,” says the Limerick man.
