Sound Waves has just got in some PR bumpf telling us that Ireland's First Surf & Music Festival has just sold out. Big deal but they did include the final line-up of acts. So, if you are going you should probably read the following. No, you don't need to thank me, it's all part of the Sound Waves Customer Service Charter.
