WHY A VINYL FESTIVAL?

An idea born out of conversations in a record shop, where else? A common memory of the importance of vinyl in our youth and a belief that it had become relevant again. The look of the cover, the feel of the sleeve, the smell of the record and the purity of the sound.. it was a format worthy of a revival! The Dún Laoghaire Vinyl Festival brings together international musicians, writers and filmmakers discussing and playing vinyl records and considering their importance in our culture today.
