The nostalgic pictures capture performers on stage, in rehearsals and showing off their awards at concerts and dance shows across Northern Ireland during the 80s and 90s.
From classical to country dance, via disco, they illustrate the rich variety of talent on display across the country.
Ballroom dancers are seen sweeping across the floor, flautists are shown creating sweet harmonies, and adorable schoolchildren are pictured all dressed up for their Easter concert. There’s even an appearance by Cliff Richard.
Does this retro photo gallery bring back any happy memories for you of shows during the 80s and 90s, whether you were on stage or in the audience?
