4.00pm (approx) Runaby, McCuaig’s Bar
Runabay are at the forefront of fresh, new music in Northern Ireland, a sound which has undeniably been shaped by the beautiful coastline which surrounds the Glens of Antrim and is felt through the swooping melodies and poignant lyrics. The band’s six musicians produce a mature sound that leaves the listener hanging on the intricate guitar riffs, mellow three part harmonies and haunting cello.

One island to another...
Saturday 27th May – Parochial Hall, 8.30pm (not 7.30pm as previously advertised)
While we enjoy and celebrate our local maritime history and culture, many thousands of men, women and children, fleeing war, persecution and poverty, have risked everything to cross a stretch of water, similar to the Rathlin Sound, to seek refuge on the Greek island of Lesvos. Michael Cecil has spent time on Lesvos as skipper and trainer for a response vessel operated by Refugee Rescue and will give a presentation on the ongoing humanitarian crisis on those further shores.
