Yesterday we had the privilege of taking part in the Pitch Perfect event hosted by Belfast Orangefest and the Ulster-Scots Agency at Seaview Stadium. A great event that showcased and celebrated a wide range of Ulster-Scots musical traditions.

The event puts an end to the marching season for us and it's been an excellent season once again. It's been great to see so many new members come through the door and yesterday we walked with the biggest band we've had out on the road since the band formed in 2019.

We are looking for new members to join the band for the season ahead, particularly fluters and a new male colour party. A learners class for fluters will run on a Wednesday evening during the months of October, November and January with the full band back at practice in February.

If you need more info or you're interested in joining, reach out to a band member or send us a message on the page.

28/09/2024

Below is a bit of information about today's event at Seaview.

We will be leaving from Deacon Street at 4pm to head along to main event for our 5.30pm slot.

If you missed out on tickets via the online "sales", around 500 tickets will be available at the door. A fantastic turnout is expected with just over 2000 tickets shifted.

We hope everyone has a great day and fingers crossed the rain stays off.

We can’t guarantee the sunshine, but we can guarantee a spectacular afternoon at PITCH PERFECT celebrating our rich Ulster-Scots musical traditions!

Ahead of tomorrow’s event please familiarise yourself with the site layout for your safety and that of others.

• Doors open 12:00pm
• Patrons can enter the stadium via gates B and C
• Once inside there will be one dedicated ticket and search lane manned by security
• Patrons may be asked to submit themselves to a search. Patrons with glassware or other prohibited items (sharps, drugs, alcohol and anything deemed dangerous or inappropriate by security) will be asked to dispose of them before entering the site.

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Yesterday we had an early start as we set off to Londonderry for the Relief of Derry celebrations.

We had a short parade down the Ormeau Road in the morning with the Belfast Walker Club, Ballynafeigh before heading up the road, parading Londonderry and returning back to the Ormeau Road for a walk back to the Ballynafeigh Orange Hall.

The sun was shining all day and a great day was had by all. 🇬🇧
