Old Courthouse date for Henry McCullough

Growing up in the seaside resort of Portstewart, Henry’s first musical venture was as guitarist with Irish showband, The Skyrockets, and the years to follow found him doing the dance hall circuit with similar outfits, including the popular Gene and the Gents.

When the Blues boom hit Ireland, Henry became involved with bands touring Britain alongside groups like The Move, Pink Floyd, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

He then drifted to London where he became steeped in the blues scene, rubbing shoulders with some of the greats of the genre and going on to play along with such legends as Joe Cocker and Wings and performing at Woodstock.

Henry eventually moved back to Northern Ireland and with his own band has continued to record and perform as one of the finest and most respected blues guitarists in the country.

Henry will be performing at The Old Courthouse, Antrim, on Friday, March 11 at 7.30pm.

Tickets, priced £12/£10 concession, are available from The Old Courthouse Box Office 028 9446 3113 or online at www.antrim.gov.uk/oldcourthouse
