Winter Wilson in the BAG

Wife and husband duo Winter Wilson, aka Kip Winter and Dave Wilson, are returning to play BAG on Monday 14 May, writes Roy Thompson of the Ballymore Acoustic Gigs. Doors open at 8:30pm; show 9pm. Admission is €12.

Kip (vocals, accordion, guitar, flute) is one of the finest singers on the circuit, expressing power and emotion in equal measure 'from melting to belting', while Dave (vocals, guitar and banjo) is amongst the top tier of British song writers, with his songs covered by some of folk’s 'greats'.

In October 2016, while still busy touring their latest album at the time — 'Ashes and Dust', the follow up to 'Cutting Free' which made the Daily Telegraph’s ten recommended folk albums for Summer 2014 — the duo were offered the supporting slot on Fairport Convention's Winter 2018 tour. That call quickly led to the duo writing and recording a new album, 'Far Off On The Horizon', to take on the tour. The new album has been critically acclaimed as perhaps their best yet.

Tight harmonies, killer songs and a lot of fun – that’s Winter Wilson.

Coming soon — Buddy Mondlock, with Mike Lindauer, Mon 21 May; Roy Thompson, plus special guests, Mon 28 May.
