About The Winding Stair

The Winding Stair - folk noir from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Cello, violin, acoustic guitar and plaintive vocal create a rich, dark and uniquely immersing sound.

Fusing evocative chamber music with knotted acoustic folk, it is as compelling as it is original.

The Winding Stair will consider any serious gig proposition and we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch. Minimum stage spec is 3 x DI box + 5 x mic.

Kaleida	Jul 3 2008 2:02 AM Hi, Kaleida returns with - DRUMCODE PARTY FRIDAY 4TH JULY 2008 @ The Warehouse,Boucher Road, Belfast KYLE GEIGER (US) (Drumcode) Named in DJ Mag as the "breakthrough DJ of 2008" by Adam Beyer, Kyle's explosive decks and effects DJ sets bridge the divide between techno and minimal. Originally inspired by the harder, percussive stylings of the late 90's Swedish techno sound featured on seminal labels like Drumcode and Code Red, Kyle has witnessed the evolution of the genre as it morphed into a slower, groove based sound. We're happy to have Kyle joining us between gigs at the legendary Berghain (Berlin) and rising stars mUmU (Liverpool) so get down early for this one... For artist details check out - www.myspace.com/kylegieger Support: //Superkonduktor// //+// //Kaleida Residents// Doors-9pm-3am Drinks £2 all night DAMAGE: £6 b4 11.30pm; £7 after Hope to see you on the dancefloor! Cheers, Kaleida
Jon Sousa	Apr 4 2008 4:22 PM Hey Ciarán! How goes it? I am headed to Ireland in July and I'll probably pass through Northern Ireland sometime later in the Summer. My friend Martin, who's a lovely Concertina player and I are setting up a few gigs in the North and Scotland, Will you be around this summer? It'd be great to see you, your band sounds absolutely beautiful.

Michelle Nichols	Feb 25 2008 1:09 PM I was just a child..... 'WILD WILD SEA' An expression of childhood nostalgias that have been building up in me. Its a short demo of the future song. Or perhaps it will remain this short, which would uncomfortably mirror the delicate beauty of childhood past by. Michelle Nichols xx
