Every year the band like to give back to the community and hold a Charity Ceilidh.
The 2019 Ceilidh took place in Garryduff Presbyterian Church Hall in Ballymoney and along with donations, the event raised an amazing £1,131.10 which was split between The Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice and Cancer Research UK (Ballymoney Branch).
The proceeds were presented to Mervyn Ferris from Cancer Research Ballymoney and David Dixon from Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice.
