Ballymena Festival of Music Speech and Dance

They will celebrate the first hundred years with a grand concert on the 13th February 2016 to mark the centenary. It all began 100 years ago when a wise woman from Ballymena thought it would be a good idea for people to take their minds off the war by performing locally on stage, in a festival of music speech and dance. And every year since then, for a month, that is what has been happening in the city of the seven towers. Stanley Hughes is Chairman of the Festival committee and he joins Anne Marie in studio.聽
