Ferry set to rock Tall Ships party weekend

ORGANISERS of this summer’s Tall Ships Races in Waterford have confirmed veteran pop artist Bryan Ferry as the headline act for the opening night.

The Roxy Music lead singer and long-established solo artist released his 13th solo album, Olympia, last year and this year toured with his Roxy Music colleagues in Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

His June 30 show will help open this year’s Tall Ships festival in Waterford and joins the likes of Sharon Shannon and The Waterboys on the musical bill for the event.
