Dublin band Winter's Reign are playing one of their original tracks with the original line up. This was recorded in 1984 shortly before Bassist Brian Heffernan left.
I managed Brian and his brother for a while when they had a band called Shoot The Breeze in the late 80s. Got them to see the A&R at EMI who wanted to record them. They were a great band. They decided to change management in favour of one of the band's girlfriend's dad. They blew out EMI and split up very soon after. I last saw their lead singer busking outside the post-office in Ashford. I don't know what happened to the Heffernan Brothers. They were great talents.
Great days, great bands, great venues.Used to love going to the baggot on Sundays and watching the lads. Always thought they should have made it big. Did they become Touchdown after this?
They used to rehearse in Alan Furlong rehearsal studios Little Mary Street, great guys really hoped they would have made it big as they really worked very hard, very talented guys. Did I hear the drummer passed on if so RIP
