Blown away by the wind …and the music!

First Friday Concert

First Friday concert series are back! Castlereagh Arts is delighted to indulge its audience again with a new round of First Friday performances, and our very own Jeremy Doherty was the first musician of the list!

Former recipient of the Ernest Anderson bursary, Jeremy took the audience to an enchanting musical journey across Ireland and Scotland, interspersing the music with some information and anecdotes about the composers.

While outside the wind was blowing, inside the council offices the listeners were blown away by the relaxing contemporary and classical music played by Jeremy!

He also moved the audience with the emotive piece that he composed to mark the 30th anniversary of the bombing of La Mon Hotel in Castlereagh, where twelve people died and more than twenty were injured.


The next First Friday performance will be a traditional Ulster Session on 4th March at 1pm in the Castlereagh Civic Centre, not to be missed!
