The ‘Cultural Lounge Saturday Sessions’ will run until February 13.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Jim Montgomery said; “During my term as Mayor, I am supporting the work of two charities, both of which are very close to my heart; Air Ambulance and Guide Dogs NI. Unfortunately raising funds has been extremely difficult in the current climate and so I would encourage you to tune in over the next few weekends and enjoy these fantastic performances while helping me raise some much needed funds.”

“We are blessed with a wealth of local musical talent and as well as raising vital funds, these virtual performances will provide a platform for these artists to enjoy entertaining a crowd during what has been an extremely difficult period for their industry.”
