Sáile Musicians
Celebrating Our Local Talent at Sáile 2026
We are absolutely thrilled to welcome an incredible line-up of creators to the Sáile Ocean Festival, showcasing how ocean-inspired music, performance, and visual arts can bring our coastal community together. Among the many talented acts performing, we are particularly excited to host Galway’s very own Ash Fuller alongside the high-energy Afro-Brazilian drumming collective SambaWave, who will both be bringing their unique creative energy to our weekend events.
Aisling "Ash" Fuller is from Galway, Ireland. She writes lyrics that ache with melodies that might make you dance anyway. Inspired by Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift, and Jensen McRae, Ash has carved out her own space with music that doesn't apologise for feeling too much.
Ash Fuller will be performing at the Galway Rowing Club Hall on Saturday the 12th of September, from 14:30 onwards!
SambaWave Injecting infectious rhythm and powerful energy into the festival atmosphere, SambaWave is a Galway-based Afro-Brazilian drumming group known for their irresistible, thunderous percussion. Performing a dynamic mix of traditional samba rhythms and modern beats, their vibrant live sets turn every space into an interactive celebration. By bringing high-octane communal rhythm to the waterfront, SambaWave builds an uplifting, joyful energy that gets people moving and brings the entire festival crowd together.
SambaWave will be performing at the Galway Rowing Club Hall on Sunday the 13th of September, from 16:30 onwards to close out our festival!
