Speaking about Saltwater, Festival Director Ray O’Donoghue said:

There’s so much history in Westport and Westport House that when the opportunity to host a new festival came up we jumped at the chance. The festival is not only about a word class music lineup it’s also about experiencing all that Westport has to offer.

“It’s great to have The Coronas and Basement Jaxx on board, We thought it would be a nice Christmas present from all of us at Saltwater Festival. They should compliment Dermot Kennedy and Johnny Marr very nicely.”
