If you missed it, we released a song this day last week, a lovely fishing ballad written by a Belfast man about his love for Cushendun. This photo was taken a few miles round the coast from Cushendun on a disposable camera in 2022. You can listen on Bancamp or streaming services

Back in October we performed at @theduncairn for a TG4 show. The song is a beautiful piece by North Belfast man Brian Connors, who worked as a teacher for many years in St Patrick's school which was situated just a few doors down from the Duncairn.

Was a real treat supporting one of our heroes @FREESTATENOVA in @The_AmericanBar a few weeks back. An incredible songwriter and a great man. Thanks to everybody who came out to it. Also, up Dundalk!

The performance was aired in November later that year and was the last time Kelly was seen performing live, passing away shortly after in January 1984.
