Accordion Band Celebrates Arts Council Grant, Tyrone - Northern Irelandby Rob Howard |
Mulnagore Coronation Accordion Band, from County Tyrone, recently received a grant from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. This enabled them to purchase five new accordions, which were paraded last Saturday in nearby Killylea. Formed in 1952, the band has gone from strength to strength today holding a membership of 28 - over half of who are under the age of 18. Band practice is held on Tuesday nights. Recently they held a very successful barbecue and fun night at Mulnagore. |
