The Salty Dog has once again to come life – if ‘life’ is the right word for the kind of riff-raff that frequent this miscreant port.
The shipwreck is ready – in all her glory – for business. Among the bands taking to the decks of this fallen 40-tonne French vessel are the explosive wild men of Otherkin, Bionic Rats, Interskalactic and Skatesques, and huge welcome back to the woods for ever-favourite Cathy Davey.
Then there are the really noisy ones: Mick Pyro and Pete Pamf (aka Shogunz of Skank), Galway Street Club, the Bronx-Cuban Londoners who belt out gypsy Dr Schwamp, sea-soaked folksters The Eskies, 70s-style art rock from Five Grand Stereo, the out-of-work lunatics Jobseekerz, urban punk poet Jinx Lennon, the punky stage anarchists Pogueology, the maiden voyage for the high-octane men of Mullingar The Blizzards; we welcome State Lights and Keywest to our humble forest, along with the upbeat melodies of Katie Laffan, a burst of sunshine from Track Dogs, the incredible discovery of Modern Love, the Motown-worship of Bronagh Gallagher.

The shipwreck will also receive some very, very special visits to the festival’s beloved shipwreck by no less than six Main Arena acts.
