Red Sail, who formed in 2011, are a Dublin based alternative folk act with it’s three members originally hailing from Meath, Wexford and Roscommon. Their songs use the simple building blocks of piano, guitars and vocal harmonies to create music that sounds new and familiar all at once.

They released their début EP ‘Paper Cutouts’ in May 2012 which gained them regional, national and UK radio play. They also made appearances at Hard Working Class Heroes Festival and Electric Picnic.

In January 2013, they began the year with a performance at Whelan’s Ones to Watch festival, before embarking on a month long tour of Belgium, Holland and Germany. Returning in February, they got to work putting the finishing touches on their next release.
