Winter Live Tracks – 2017

November 23, 2016 By FDM Admin

Hoping to release some live WINTER tracks in the early part of 2017.

I am currently working on restoring [where possible] some songs from sound desk cassette recordings during the 1988-91 period. There should also be a higher quality version of “Reflections on the Water” available soon.

Enjoy the winter season and feel free to send in any queries or comments.

    Musical Talents – Interview with Irish Rock Database

    November 13, 2015 By FDM Admin

    Irish Rock Database recently conducted a brief email based interview with Phil Murray about the re-released tracks from Across the Circle’s Edge and the musical talents of the band.

    Question: Listening to the tracks it is obvious that the band had a serious rhythm section?

    Answer: Yes absolutely, Ricky and John were superb and gave us a real edge to our sound.  Both wonderful to perform with.

    john-murphy1John – fantastic drummer, closest thing to Neil Peart we could ever wish for and he had a terrific musicality to his playing. He certainly raised our game when he joined and helped us take writing and performing to a different level. He had a great ability to add dynamic drive and structure to the songs. I don’t think a lot of the ideas could have worked without John behind the kit.

     

     

    rick-loyer1Ricky – just a brilliant bass player with a wonderfully fluid and effortless style. Super song writer too and had a great syncopation with John – they formed a really expressive, tight back unit. He could play a wide range of styles too, which was a huge advantage. Ricky was also a more than decent guitarist, though he never got the chance to showcase those skills live with Winter.

    Site Update News

    March 16, 2014 By FDM Admin

    hi Guys,

    I am currently upgrading the Winter Online website with a new clean design and updated MP3 player. Legendary drummer, John Murphy, was also in touch with a few excellent ideas for the site, including some social media linkage, so everything should be in place in a few days.

    Hopefully I will also have some photos to upload soon too. We have had some requests for Live Tracks and the demo version of Reflections on the Water — so these will be added soon and there are still plans to release a limited run of the ‘Beyond 2012’ version of Across The Circle’s Edge on CD and 12″ Vinyl format – more on this after Easter.

    cheers for now

    Phil

    Across The Circle’s Edge – now on iTunes

    January 24, 2012 By FDM Admin

    I am delighted to announce that Across The Circle’s Edge [beyond 2012] by WINTER is now available to purchase via iTunes.

    It has taken a lot of effort and time to get to this point but we hope you enjoy these updated versions of the songs [which now include the additional keyboard tracks that were omitted in the vinyl and CD version] and who knows maybe an actual CD version of these will be made available during this year — I am looking into that one!

    One snag I am trying to correct, is that the biogrpahy shown on iTunes relates to the American band of the same name [Winter]. I will hopefully have this corrected soon. 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.

    Across The Circle’s Edge [beyond 2012] will also be available across many other digital media stores over the coming weeks – it takes longer to filter out to Amazon and others but by February you should have a good choice of digital vendors to choose from.

    Please let us know what you think of the new release and spread the word … !

    > BUY Across The Circle’s Edge from iTunes NOW

    > You can also purchase from Amazon – BUY NOW

    this is not a game!!! …
