“I feel disappointed tonight leaving the Traditional night at the Hub... as usual we had a great night, great musicians, food and craic.

“All volunteers give their time to work from 8-1am and our volunteer James rides his bicycle from Drum Rd to work.

“He left it outside the Hub tonight (Saturday, March 5) and it was taken.

“I would love the person/persons who took the bicycle to leave it back... If not, remember karma!!!
