Note: Currently iTunes is showing the Biography of the other band named Winter from USA – we should have this corrected within a few days. Also the names of the tracks have [beyond 2012] included whereas that was intended to be included in the E.P. title only – so I will get that fixed over the coming weeks.

Winter – The Story

 

Winter were an Irish progressive rock / metal band who received critical acclaim for their live performances in the 1980s and 1990s, combining fine musicianship, based around creating hard rock, multi-layered melodies, with Johnny Lennie’s flamboyant stage presence and clever lyricism.

Winter circa 1990

Their debut E.P. titled Across The Circle’s Edge was released in both Vinyl format (by Circle’s Edge records in 1990) and in CD format (by SI Records in 1992). This E.P. has become something of a collectors item among some progressive rock fans. They were formed in 1987, based in Newtownards, Co.Down and the original line up stayed together until 1991.

The Band – 1987 to 1991

  • Johnny Lennie: vocals & lyrics
  • Rab Beggs: electric / acoustic guitars
  • Phil Murray: keyboards / additional vocals
  • Rick Loyer: bass guitar
  • John Murphy: drums / percussion

"Dear Gentlemen of Winter, very glad to heard you. Irish people and mexicans are brothers for historical reasons, for example The Saint Patrick´s Batallion. But right now, my family and I (we are listening you), are feeling more brotherhood because your marvelous music. Good taste, beautiful Irish accent, rapids keyboards, the guitar cries, drums are equal as risen heartbeat and the bass has personality. Blessings for you all guys from Cancun Mexico!!"
