Jazz stars to play Strule Arts Centre all summer

30 June 2009 -

Strule Arts Centre in Omagh will host jazz performances on Thursday evenings throughout the summer.

Fans of music in Northern Ireland will be able to catch big names such as Ray Moore, Gerarda McCann and Bob Quick throughout the summer, with the first performances taking place on July 2nd.

Gerarda McCann studied singing at London's Trinity College before working in Australia, while trombonist Bob Quick studied at the Royal Academy of Music and presently works for the Western Education and Library Board music service.

Ray Moore is a local music legend and over the summer the trio will be joined by various guest artists.

Last week, it was revealed that jazz group the Kevin McVeigh Trio, the Castlewellan Accordion Orchestra and swing star Jonny McGeown will perform during Belfast's Rose Week.

The event will also see workshops, competitions and children's activities take place alongside daily flower shows at the City of Belfast International Rose Garden and Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park.
