Saltaire

Saltaire are a Dublin-based contemporary folk/trad band. Their combined experience fueling a bold and dynamic sound, the band weave haunting, ethereal folk styles with rich storytelling to create original songs and reimagined folk ballads and traditional tunes. With the deep resonance of cello, the rhythmic pulse of bodhrán, and the melodic interplay of guitar and bouzouki, they craft a fresh yet dense folk sound that feels both timeless and nostalgic. Their debut EP Only Moonlight released in Feb 2026 showcases this distinctive style, weaving original songs and reimagined ballads with warm harmonies and subtle bluegrass influence.
