cois fharraigeThe Saw Doctors have just been announced to join Doves, The Zutons, Newton Faulkner, Noah & The Whale, The Hold Steady, Stereo MC’s, Lightning Seeds, and Jerry Fish at this years Cois Fharraige festival on 11, 12 and 13 September in Kilkee, Co. Clare.

Early bird tickets are on sale now at only €89 including booking until 1 September. Tickets will be €99 incl. booking fee thereafter.

The Saw Doctors, who won a Lifetime Meteor Award last year, will celebrate their 21st year on the road as a touring band this Summer. Back in 1988, Mike Scott of The Waterboys discovered Davy Carton (singer), Leo Moran (guitarist), and the rest of The Saw Doctors in the back room of The Quays Bar in Galway and promptly booked the Tuam lads to tour with The Waterboys on the Fisherman’s Blues jaunt around Ireland. Mike Scott went on to produce The Saw Doctors first single, N17, which reached Number One for the band in 1990, following their smash hit, I Useta Lover.

The new Saw Doctors single, She Loves Me, is a follow up to the bands number one hit last Autumn, About You Now, which returned the Tuam band to the top of the Irish Charts for the first time in 17 years.
