More Power To Your Elbow
Friday is a night you just can’t miss, a disco followed by More Power to Your Elbow in the Dome.
They have been entertaining audiences for the past fifteen years ago all over Ireland, Europe and America.
They play traditional Irish music with a rock drive which makes exciting uplifting entertainment.
Their hits include Trip to Tipp and Back to Tyrone, which has become an anthem in this county.
They now only play a limited number of gigs and the crowds of fans return time and time again along with a whole new generation who were too young to see them the first time.
Jokers Wild
Jokes Wild - back by popular demand
And as if that was not enough, for the music lover there is, back by popular demand, Jokers Wild on stage on Sunday night.
They guarantee to sap up any energy you might have left after a hectic week!
Playing support will be the Omagh rock band Colenso Parade. An electric night not to be missed! Colenso Parade is performing at the Glasgowbury Music Festival, and has played support to Dirty Pretty Things in Mandela Hall, Belfast in May and last week at Main Street Omagh. The band members, Fergal Lindsay (from Plumbridge), Mickey McCullagh, Philly Taggart and Paul Mellon are all looking forward to making their first appearance at this Festival. Their legion of travelling fans is planning to come to Glenelly for this special night.
