Dublin-based trio Saltaire will open the show. Come join us for an evening of transcendent energy that is guaranteed to captivate and uplift audiences of all ages.
LAOISE FITZGERALD
Laoise FitzGerald is a singer, instrumentalist, composer and music therapist based in Dublin. She studied music at Goldsmiths University of London, specialising in improvisation, blending vocal and piano compositions with electronic textures and multi instrumental arrangements. Her work explores vulnerability and grief through the lense of her lived experience. Praised by the Irish Independant as a “highly original artist” and by IMRO as a “musician of exceptional talent,” her debut EP “How to Swallow Spiders” featured on Hot Press and was reviewed by Totally Dublin as “exquisite, haunting, and hypnotic”.
SALTAIRE
Saltaire is an alt-folk trio consisting of singer/cellist Kaitlin Cullen-Verhauz, guitarist Ian Kinsella and bodhrán/bouzouki player Conor Lyons. Together they create a rich tapestry of sound and storytelling, through a fusion of Irish and American folk & trad styles.
Saltaire brings together three distinct musical voices, shaped by years of performing in acclaimed bands and as sought-after session musicians. Conor is a founding member of The Bonny Men, while Ian and Kaitlin have played with Frankie Gavin & De Dannan. Kaitlin also performs with 2025 RTÉ Folk Award winners Natalie Ní Chasaide & Iarfhlaith Ó Domhnaill, and all three members are part of Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin’s live band, featuring on his debut solo album The Deepest Breath. Their combined experience fuels Saltaire’s bold and dynamic sound.
