SELL OUT AGAIN FOR BARD

Another uproarious evening’s entertainment awaits on Friday 19 November at the Armagh City Hotel when an assortment of new odes will be aired for the first time. Some of these will join the long list of much sought after Bard classics. The range of topics at the finals is wide and includes issues such as the recession, wedding invitations, shopping, overeating, dieting, football and returning from the dead. The organisers have stated that this will be the most competitive bard night yet with the quality of poems of the highest standard. Can Liam McNally be the first to win the event for a third time in a row? Will Jimmy Rafferty win for a record fourth time? Could Henry McGraths ‘Recession’ generate the greatest turn over of laughs or will a newcomer put on an irresistible performance?

Damian McGirr.

Colette Corrigan.

Henry McGrath.

Tommy Murray.

Margaret Heatley.
