Ding Ding…the 4th…and final round !
Sunday. Traditionally the preserve of the hardcore Festival Goers, but recommended to all !! We don’t like to let the Festival Peter out on Sunday – we like to go out with a BANG – and this year is no exception.
Kicking off with some lunchtime listening from 2pm, we have the”Rhythm Rascals” in the Roe Park Resort and the “Dharma Bums” in Frank Owens.
Rhythm Rascals – Roe Park Resort @ 2pm
Dharma Bums – Franks @ 2pm
Next up, it’s the “Eunan McLaughlin Quartet” in Douglas’s from 3pm. Eunan, the son of local jazz legend Gabriel, is joined today by Rick Swann, who has made several guest appearances at this year’s festival, as well as headlining Frank’s Marquee on Saturday night. Usually to be found in renowned city clubs & concert halls, make sure you don’t miss the chance to catch this highly acclaimed and talented Quartet right here in Limavady.

“Limavady Big Band” will be playing in the new Beer Garden in the Alexander Arms from 4pm. Big thanks go out to Donald Morgan & his team for putting this venue together at very short notice. Looks like the sun is going to shine for us, so come along and enjoy the ever popular Big Band sound.
