“We’re absolutely delighted to be bringing Rock The Lough back to the Bush Bar once more.
“For lots of people in the town it signals the end of the summer and we’re looking to go out on a ‘high note’.
“It is amazing the time and effort that musicians and volunteers put into an event like this and we’re hoping to raise as much money as we can for two really worthy causes.
“Fans of local music in the town will be well aware of the talent that names on the bill have, but even if you’re unaware, we’d encourage you to come along and be pleasantly surprised.”
It all comes to a head from 1pm on Sunday. Entry is £5, with money going towards both charities.
A bike rally also takes place on the Sunday, with participants to meet at 2.30pm at the rear of the Bush bar before leaving at 3pm, at a cost of £10 per bike.
