Portaferry Gala Committee would like to apologise for the lack of “Dolly and Cash” at the Tribute Concert last night. The duo were injured in a car crash on Saturday afternoon and unable to attend the event. Unfortunately we were not informed of this and were totally unaware the concert would not be taking place.

We sincerely thank those who attended for their understanding and patience and hope you enjoyed the evening.

Well done to Exit 23 – who’ll be appearing on the Gala Stage Float night.
