Gordie MacKeeman & his Rhythm Boys in Omagh, July 2014

Thanks to Ray O'Brien for the news that the award-winning old-time band Gordie MacKeeman & his Rhythm Boys from Prince Edward Island, Canada, will open a July tour in these islands at Omagh, Co. Tyrone, making their first appearance at the Weigh Inn Bar and taking up residence at the Ulster American Folk Park during the Fourth of July weekend.

These are the only appearances in Ireland scheduled on their online calendar before they travel to Britain for the rest of the month. A limited number of tickets (£6) for the Weigh Inn show are available at the bar or online. More details - including a great photograph - are on Ray's Facebook page.
