Niamh McKinney is a singer-songwriter from Wicklow. Having kept notebooks of poetry since childhood, she didn't start writing songs until one day in 2015, when songs suddenly started pouring out. Unsure as to the nature of what she had composed during this first creative burst, a form of validation came a month later when she won the Allingham Songwriting Competition with one of the first songs she wrote.
      Poetically rich - both lyrically and melodically - her heart-rending songs draw on stories and life experience, captivating by way of their ethereal sense of urgency and foreboding.
     Niamh writes her songs a capella. Her musical partner and husband Stephen McKinney (who has previously played guitar and synths with prog rock fusion band Leo Drezden) then crafts evocative guitar accompaniment which interweaves seamlessly with the songs, complementing their haunting quality. The two are currently working on producing their debut album.


Music making and artistry-some performing herbs and a broken harp.

Inwavves is a unique musical force that blends the aggressive, mechanical pulse of industrial music with the ethereal, dreamlike elements of shoegaze. Fronted by Gary Howe, the band's sound feels both harsh and immersive, exploring the boundaries between noise and melody. Their work captivates listeners by seamlessly integrating heavy industrial rhythms, expansive synths, and dense layers of guitars, all while maintaining an emotional depth reminiscent of the shoegaze genre.

Howe's musical journey began at the age of 13 when he first picked up the guitar and began experimenting, recording and programming on his 486 computer. His early passion led him to work with various bands, initially as a drummer, before finally switching to guitar and vocals in 2001. At that point, Howe was already well-versed in the technical side of music as a sound technician, engineer, and remixer for the Dublin/London-based industrial metal band Brinskill Bomb Beat. Howe’s multifaceted experience laid the foundation for his eventual creation of Inwavves.

Initially, the group was known as Mute is Murder, with Howe taking on vocals and programming, alongside Sean Harrington and Mick Dempsey on guitar. In 2003, with the addition of Andrew Murray on bass, guitar, and electronic programming, the band began to shape its distinctive sound. Murray, a talented multi-instrumentalist, brought a unique electronic influence to the project, weaving layers of digital textures into their gritty industrial sound.
