Folk On A Boat
Join skipper, local character and teller of tall tales Brian Meharg on board his boat Ocean Crest for a musical cruise along the beautiful North Down coastline. The music will be led by local folk-singer, historian and raconteur, David Lennon, plus special musical guests. They will bring to life Bangor’s colourful past with songs about Columbanus, the United Irishmen, and some lesser known facts and fables from our town.
Wrap up warm, and bring some refreshments!

The highlight was Folk on a Boat, a jaunt out on the sea with a bottle of prosecco and a musical guide in the form of singer and storyteller Davy Lennon – a retired barrister and local amateur historian. Lennon is a collector of hilarious, moving and often bawdy local folk songs, along with his son David.
