MUSIC fans in Derry are in for a treat this week as Sean McKenna, formerly of the Mary Wallopers, headlines an incredible line-up of national and local talent in the cause of anti-racism.
Rock Against Racism in Sandino’s Nightclub on July 3 will give Wallopers’ fans a chance to hear the songs that brought them to worldwide fame.
McKenna a founding member, singer and guitarist in the world-acclaimed folk band, recently stepped back from the Wallopers’ hectic touring schedule to work on other projects.
For nine years Sean was the heartbeat of the band as they conquered the world, selling out huge arenas, playing television slots and spreading the gospel of Irish punk folk.
McKenna will top an extraordinary bill which also includes Hypnic Jerk, Derry legends Bam Bam and the Calling, Tessio and Tramp.
The organisers of Rock Against Racism are dedicating this event to the memory of Colm Bryce, the Derry socialist who recently passed away.
Doors open at 8pm. Early arrival is advised as the first act will be on stage at 8.30pm.
Admission is £10 for those who are in full time employment and £5 for those who are unwaged.
