‘Carnival’ style entertainment with upbeat music and striking uniforms.
Company: Friendship Band
(Northern Ireland)
Formed at the height of the troubles in Northern Ireland during the mid-seventies, the aim of this band was to bring together a group of musicians to perform for both sides of the community, as well as North and South of the border. They not only achieved this, but have subsequently performed all over the world.
The full band is made up of 30 or more players from various brass bands throughout both Northern Ireland and the Republic, who come together regularly to entertain at major festivals and events.
