26/03/2008 - Moyarget Orange Hall
|
Delighted to be able to help our good friend Jimmy Dobbin out by performing at a fund-raising event in Moyarget Orange Hall. Along with Sam Kane, Carmel, Alister and other artists, there was a good crowd in the hall. And can I just mention how lovely this hall is? Really well maintained and a credit to the local community. We performed in the 2nd half, after the tea - always a bad idea as some members like to "indulge" a bit in the cream cakes (mentioning no names Rachel! ) We tried a few new pieces for the first time, some went well, some not so good. Very strange acoustics tonight with the group, for some reason the fiddles were over-powering the accordions and we can't have that But we thoroughly enjoyed it and accompanying Jimmy while he sang was the highlight of the night for the 2 accordions, who tried to out-do each other with the embellishments. Tonights line up was Ronnie, James Sen, Rachel, James Jun, Valerie, Kenny & Sammy.

Thanks for all the queries by people looking to know when we'll be in scotland!
We plan to be over at least twice this year - Glasgow in August and Falkirk in September.
We're really looking forward to these trips, and hope you can catch us while we're there!!

17/03/08 - Down County Museum, Downpatrick
|
|
We travelled down to Downpatrick to take part in the Council organised celebrations for St Patrick. Based in a marquee in the grounds of the museum, we had a really relaxing day entertaining the various crowds that came into the marquee during our allocated slots. Also on the programme in various parts of the museum were Bill Teare, Babcock & Bobbins, a Traditional groups and the Greer Brothers.

Part of the Coleraine Festival http://www.colerainetwelfthfestival.co.uk
Coleraine Twelfth Festival was held for the first time in July 2006. It was a varied programme of events in the week leading up to the 12th of July, which was hosted by Coleraine District No.2 LOL.
While celebrating our rich cultural heritage, we aimed to provide a wide range of activities, with something to offer all age groups within our local multi-cultural community. By showcasing our culture and heritage in an enjoyable and educational way, we hoped to dispel some of the myths and misconceptions attached to the Orange Order, and provide an opportunity for everyone to participate in this traditional holiday period.
Our inaugural festival in 2006, based on feedback received from the local community and visitors to the area, achieved our objective and indeed surpassed all expectations, such was the success of the festival.
