Snow Patrol for Bushmills Live!

Snow Patrol have been unveiled as the headline attraction at the inaugural BUSHMILLS Live! event, which takes place on June 20 and 21 in their 400-year-old Causeway Coast distillery (Bushmills’, not Gary Lightbody & Co.s’!)

Tickets are free but must be applied for between St. Patrick’s Day and 11.59pm on April 27 at [link]facebook.com/bushmills1608[/link]

Also on the bill are the Patrol’s bezzies Foy Vance and Iain Archer.
More acts will be confirmed shortly. The northern excitement – we’re thinking of emigrating! – doesn’t stop there with the Ulster Hall host on May 22 to a special Great Northern Songbook album, which will hook the likes of General Fiasco, The Answer, Cara Dillon, Brian Kennedy and newcomer Katharine Philippa up with the likes of the Ulster Orchestra.

The BBC Radio Ulster homepage will have more information from noon tomorrow.
