Independence Day in Groomsport

Groomsport has been celebrating 4th of July for a few years now with the Eagle Wing Festival but this year the festival has been rescheduled for 6th September and instead we had an event under the 'Lets Go' banner ...

'Tracey and the Barroom Buddies' who opened the event. This Ballymena group have been together for 15 years, and are popular for their tributes to old country legends like Tammy Wynette and Johnny Cash and new country stars including Shania Twain and Randy Travis.

Also appearing were 'Hugo Duncan and his band' and 'The Illegals'.
