A familiar face throughout Gala is Jim Murdock, Good Relations Officer of Ards Borough Council. On Gala Friday, Jim took to the airwaves of ferry fm and talked to local council members about their work, hobbies and memories of the Gala.
(he also sneaked in a few of his fav tunes as well)

After 40 years I’m a very lucky fella,
to be a part, with all my heart, of Portaferry Gala,
of all the prizes won, I always got the Booby,
thank God I’m here with all the rest, to celebrate the Ruby.
When thinking up this little ditty, all praise must go to Mary, Bernie
and their wonderful committee.
