Speaking this week, Directors of the Dún Laoghaire Vinyl Festival, Directors of the Dún Laoghaire Vinyl Festival, Brian O’ Flaherty and Neil Goodman said, "A love of music, the excitement at the return of an old format that many felt was gone and a wish to celebrate it in our local community; these are the reasons we decided to create the Dún Laoghaire Vinyl Festival. Something for audiophiles of all ages and musical tastes, from punk to soul; recording to sleeve design, with vinyl the music is only part of the story."
