Glasgowbury Team Announce Exciting New Beginnings

July 12, 2013

GlasgowburyThe organisers behind Northern Ireland’s premiere celebration of homegrown musical talent have just announced that this year’s showcase will be the final full-scale event at its home at Eagle’s Rock, Draperstown. From next year, Glasgowbury will be moving in a new direction, relocating to an expanded creative hub in Draperstown’s Cornstore, where the continued promotion of local talent and expansion of new educational and creative enterprises will thrive.

The not-for-profit festival and charitable social enterprise started back in 2000  and since then has spearheaded Northern Ireland’s live music culture whilst working closely with various local groups and enterprises to bring the arts to the heart of rural communities. Progressing to the next stage of its forward-thinking development, the organisation aims to conquer exciting new territories and develop new audiences. The new hub will allow Glasgowbury to deliver a wider more varied programme of arts and community development continuing to provide tuition programmes and performance opportunities.

This year for the first time ever, Glasgowbury will expand to a two day festival across the weekend of July 19th to 21st, staging a County Derry showcase at Eagle’s Rock, Draperstown on Friday 19th in support of Derry~Londonderry’s City Of Culture celebrations. And So I Watch You From Afar, Japanese Popstars and The Answer are among the bands who will be gracing the main stage over the course of the weekend.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see this really special festival for the last time high in the Sperrin Mountains. For info, ticket outlets, travel info and all the latest announcements see www.glasgowbury.com
