In Tua Nua came out of County Dublin in 1982, an Irish rock band with a big, windswept sound and a singer who could fill it. At the heart of it were singer Leslie Dowdall, guitarist Martin Clancy, bassist Jack Dublin and drummer Paul Byrne, with players such as Steve Wickham and Vinnie Kilduff in the wider circle.
The Long Acre, in 1988, is the one to hear. "All I Wanted" soars on Dowdall's clear, piercing voice, and "Don't Fear Me Now" has a restless, driving edge. The band came apart in 1990, but Dowdall, Dublin and Byrne have come back together for occasional reunions since the 2000s.
