Bayonets is back and sounding as good as ever.
Bayonets is a solo project created by Kerry musician and songwriter Vinnie Flynn. He's been featured before on our
Song of the Day section. It's quite the task trying to pigeonhole this guy as his distinctive style is a mix of alternative rock, indie, blues and folk.
Listening to this track, you can add goth-pop to the mix. In addition to writing and performing live, Vinnie also works with several publishing companies based in the US who pitch his compositions to prime time TV shows and movies. His body of work conjures haunting intrigue, each melody luring the listener into a dark and beguiling tale. Bayonet’s sound is undeniably his own and unclassifiable in any one genre.

Vinnie has a string of gigs and festivals in the pipeline for 2018 including Vantastival, including some overseas appearances. His debut single' Slow Burning Fire' was premiered in June 2017 by Hot Press Magazine and has received wide media acclaim.
Definitely, one to watch for 2018 – a breath of fresh, mysterious originality. ‘This Old Coast’ is a brooding, gothic tale of a man haunted and pursued by a mysterious female figure. The backdrop is a breath-taking view of the Irish sea and Georgian Dublin’s Henrietta Street. The spectral imagery complements the atmospheric feel that Bayonet’s unique compositions create and leaves the viewer thirsty for the story to continue.
