'River Roe Rhythm Fest' returns to St Canice's GAC Dungiven later this month

Following the success of last year, the 'River Roe Rhythm Fest' returns to Dungiven later this month.

The annual music festival fundraiser, run by St Canice's GAC will take place between July 26 and July 28.

With a fantastic line-up, all musical tastes are catered for in what is expected to be a brilliant weekend.

This fundraising event has been organised to help with the further development of the club, with the ongoing support of the underage teams for equipment, upkeep of pitches, Páirc Ui Catháin and the community training pitch at Páirc na nÓg.

The club has also employed a Gaelic Promotion Officer who coaches children aged four to 12 in local schools and the club at the club's own expense.

The Festival was a major success last year and provided a great occasion for the general public to let their hair down and have some fun.

This year's line-up includes the famous Cormac Neeson, lead singer of The Answer, and his band The Unholy Gospel Band with their mix of American gospel, blues/country and rock headlining on the Friday.

Saturday will see County Cork star Meadhbh Walsh, who excelled at the Farmers Bash in Belfast with her flamboyant voice with Irish folk and rock, take to the stage in the club. Sunday has the legendary Gary Óg, and currently one of the best and most sought after Irish bands in the country, Ceol.

Local artists also feature in what is expected to be a sell-out week.

Music from 6pm on both Friday and Saturday evenings and 1.30pm on Sunday with the All-Ireland Football Final being shown on the big screen.

Tickets are going fast. Look out for upcoming competitions for those who have secured tickets.

Food and drink deals will also be on throughout the weekend in the marquee.
