We also look forward to welcoming Ain’t Saint John, the Wexford-born singer, songwriter and piano player, chosen by Lisa O’Neill as her support act. His debut EP Grow Yourself was released last year, a mix of folk and Americana inspired in no small part by the natural beauty of his childhood home looking out over the Saltee Islands.
