Hi guys,
Organising a festival for the Ulster Scots anniversary in Stranorlar on the 1st weekend in June of this year. If anyone likes the idea of coming along for the weekend to play for the public, email me.
Alot of bands interested so we're tryin to get as many as possible as huge crowds are expected!
Aileen!
They're two small but busy towns in east Donegal. From the Irish 'Srath an Urláir' (strath, probably low valley and 'floor') and 'Bealach Féich' (Feich's Road). A nice part of the world.
Ballybofey and Stranorlar are known as 'The Twin Towns' since they're separated only by a narrow bridge across the River Finn. The former may be unique in Ireland since it's a town which has neither churches nor schools (all of which are across the river), though it does possess Donegal's only League of Ireland football team, Finn Harps.
St. Johnston's some twenty miles distant from Ballybofey/Stranorlar, amrhán, so not exactly nearby, though Tommy Peoples was the artist in residence at the Balor Theatre for a while.
This is going to be a fantastic weekend! We're looking for all kinds of musicians and performers and like i said ALOT of bands intending on arriving for the weekend to camp out, stay in luxury or just come along for the day!
The 400th anniversary of the Ulster Scots Plantation in Stranorlar is this year! To commemerate this we are holding a festival on the June bank holiday of this year. From Friday, 4th June to Mon, 7th we are holding events with a parade day on the Bank holiday Mon.
We are looking for bands/ buskers/ performers to entertain the public throughout the weekend.
The Ulster Scots is a large community so huge crowds are expected!
If you are interested in playing, campin out with friends or stayin in luxery for the weekend, please email me (Aileen).

Re: Buskers Wanted for Festival!!
Where *on earth* are Ballybofey and Stranorlar?!
They sound utterly outlandish and quite appealing.

Tommy Peoples comes from nearby St Johnston.
