Few experiences rival the exhilaration of encountering a band in their element performing live, that utterly enthralls you. Such was the sensation I encountered after witnessing InBetween Honey at Feile Beag 2024. They didn’t merely command the stage; they wove an intricate dance with the audience, their sheer authenticity and distinctive flair a marvel to witness.
