Rod has been on the road for almost five decades writing songs, playing concerts and recording albums and over the years he has released 15 recordings on vinyl and CD.

Mayor, Councillor Brian Bloomfield MBE said: “I am delighted to host this event in aid of the charity TinyLife. Events like this help Tiny Life to continue to build on its 30 years of experience of giving practical and emotional support to parents, maximizing on birth outcomes for premature and sick babies for families across Northern Ireland.
