Rory Mooney, 15 Jun

Music lovers will be spoiled for choice this June, as Flowerfield Arts

Centre, Portstewart and Roe Valley Arts Centre, Limavady host two

exceptional live music events.

The performances will showcase traditional Irish music and contemporary

jazz, featuring renowned artists and exciting new works.

Irish trad band Réalta returns to Roe Valley Arts Centre on Friday

28th June, after their sold-out show in April last year. Their

performance will premiere "The Leap," a 15-minute love song to

Limavady, co-written by Conor Lamb and Deirdre Galway. The new piece

will be presented in a Crankie Box, an ancient storytelling format,

with visuals crafted by artist Peter Crann.

The evening, supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland Rural

Engagement Arts Programme, also features a live reading by local poet

Anne McMaster and performances from musicians from Jimmy O’Hara and

Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann.

On Saturday 29th June, Flowerfield Arts Centre will host the Phil

Robson Organ Trio, featuring Phil Robson on guitar, Ross Stanley on

organ, and Gene Calderazzo on drums. They will perform selections from

their critically acclaimed album

organ/guitar trio. Phil Robson's innovative guitar work, praised by The

Telegraph and AllAboutJazz, promises an evening of dynamic and
