“We’re excited to announce that the band will be making yet another appearance as part of this year’s entertainment extravaganza.”

Local businesses have united in sponsorship of a very special luxury charity raffle which will take place on the night and offering the masked attendees an opportunity to win some really amazing prizes whilst raising money for a worthy local charity, Aware NI Defeat Depression.
