Red Sail are a Dublin based alternative folk act with the 3 members originally hailing from Navan, Wexford and Roscommon.

Since summer 2011, they have been gigging extensively throughout Ireland developing their sound.

Red Sail’s début EP ‘Paper Cutouts’ was released in May 2012 and has gained them Regional, Nation and UK radio play.

‘Paper Cutouts’ is available to download from iTunes and Bandcamp with physical copies available from Elastic Witch and Tower Records.
