"This was a long time coming," stated Dave Lofts after opening a special night with 'Salt and the Sea' at the Theatre Royal Waterford on Saturday. The Wicklow native, who has adopted Waterford as his home, continued his meteoric rise with a sold-out performance in front of his biggest fans at the Theatre Royal. The show kicked off with London-based Waterford singer Codyy, but the night was all about the incredible voice and charisma of Lofts.
