Caravan of Love line-up revealed

The line up for Ireland’s newest music festival, Caravan of Love 2015 was announced at a special launch reception in Ferguson’s Bar & Caravan Park, Gyles Quay on Friday night.

The 4 of Us turned up at the launch event to support concert promoters Niall Ferguson and Stewart Agnew and gave the audience just a taste of what is to come this September.

Caravan of Love 2015 will run from Friday 11^th to Sunday 13^th September. Headline acts will perform in the Ferguson’s Bar venue on the Friday and Saturday with outdoor performances on the Saturday and Sunday afternoon. The weekend event is supported by Diageo.

The line up for the main performances are as follows:

• Friday September 11^th: Damien Dempsey, Duke Special, Zoe Conway & John McIntyre.
• Saturday September 12^th: Mundy, The 4 Of Us, Stewart Agnew

Also performing over the weekend will be Finnian, David Keenan, The Oceanographers and Pete Johnson, with many more acts to be announced.

Speaking at the launch, Niall Ferguson and Stewart Agnew spoke on the potential they see for the Caravan of Love Festival.

“Ferguson’s Caravan Park has been a part of Gyles Quay for many years now and we are currently working on expanding our facilities with modern glamping pods to cater to a new generation of camping enthusiasts,” explained Niall.

“Caravan of Love 2015 is another way in which we are expanding our offering. We have asked our regular customers for their opinions on this and they are fully behind us. In fact they can’t wait for their very own end of summer festival. Working with Stewart we have put together a fantastic line up for our first year and with the generous support of Diageo, we hope that it is the start of a successful event for Gyles Quay.”

Local singer/songwriter Agnew is enthusiastic about Caravan of Love 2015.

“I’ve seen how ideal Ferguson’s Bar is as a live venue. Add to that the location, the end of summer atmosphere and the high calibre of performers and it’s an opportunity I couldn’t pass up the chance to be involved in.

“Aside from the main nightly gigs the outdoor performance is also an ideal opportunity for local musicians to take to the stage and hopefully we get to see them in years to come as headliners!”
