It's official, music icon PAUL WELLER has confirmed that he will be headlining the Sea Sessions Surf Music festival in Bundoran on June 26th. The man behind the Jam, Style Council, and a personal array of solo success such as Wildwood and more, is a major coup for the festival just in its third year.

Weller will be headlining the Main Marquee on Saturday the 26th on the main beach in Bundoran. Along with hits from the Jam era, he will also be showcasing his new album 'Wake up the nation' which debuted in the Irish Top Ten this week!
Speaking about the new material getting its Irish Debut at Sea Sessions, Madden exclaims;
'Its great timing as he is pushing some new material at the moment and it is really fresh - I think there will be even more interest than normal in this gig'.
The Sea Sessions gig will be the First Irish gig of the Weller tour dates and as such is sure to be a full house.
'We have a limited capacity because of the size of the site and tickets have already been selling very well for this year without us announcing the full line up'.

They will treat fans to red-hot hits including “Love Unlimited, Korean Bodega” and “Scooby Snacks” headlining the Main Stage on Friday 25th June.
They started out on the streets of Chicago and New York, and now they take their stylistic cues of jazz, funk, hip-hop and world music to the fine sandy shores of Bundoran – The HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE (an 8-strong cohort of horn playing brothers) will entertain Donegal from the Main Stage on Saturday 26th June.

SURF’S UP!:
In just its 3rd year, the festival is sure to see Ireland’s surfing and festival fans flock to Bundoran, Co. Donegal for the country’s leading surf, skate and music festival. This June the seaside resort of Bundoran will once again be alive with the sound of great tunes and thumping surf as the cream of Irish Surfing Talent descend on the resort for an eclectic mix of music and surfing.
The QUIKSILVER Expression Session Competition is designed to allow Ireland’s foremost surfers the freedom to really “go for it” and bust big moves! Sea Sessions is stoked to welcome Quiksilver as the sponsor of its Expression Session Competition and for the lucky winner, have announced a 5 day holiday for two people to the “Quiksilver Pro” surf event in the South of France. Not only will the winner get the opportunity to enjoy 5 days of tube-riding, high performance waves and big surf possibilities, they will also be entered as a Wild Card entrant to the WQF, the Surfing WORLD QUALIFYING SERIES, where they will get the opportunity to showcase their best moves and daring stunts alongside the worlds surfing elite!
The event will be based on the best moves and won’t be limited by normal competition boundaries”, said Pete Craig of Bundoran Surf Company. “This means it is a lot more fun to watch than standard format events for non surfers”.
