THE organisers of the
Macklin Autumn School have once again surpassed
themselves with a fantastic line-up of music and
events later this year.
The annual arts and culture festival in Culdaff runs
from October 10 to October 12, 2008, and the
headline act will be popular Derry singer Cara
Dillon.
Her performance will include songs from her new
album 'The Redcastle Set' that was recorded in
Redcastle.
Other festival guests will include actor and
dramatist Little John Nee while there will also be a
great mix of workshops and heritage-themed events
including a celebration of the 400th Anniversary of
the Rebellion of Sir Cahir O'Doherty.
The official launch of the Macklin School takes
place at 8pm this Friday, June 13, in McGrory's,
Culdaff. Special guest will be Derry actor Gordon
Fulton who starred in the film 'Dead Long Enough'
which was filmed in Culdaff.
Macklin committee member Sean Beattie said there
would be something for all the family at this year's
autumn festival including a poetry competition,
music and storytelling, a falconry exhibition, art
exhibition and guided countryside rambles. For more
