Quarterdeck for The Plaza
03.07.09
QUARTERDECK - one of
Donegal's most seminal 1980s bands - are reuniting
for a gig in Buncrana next Friday as part of the
Earagail Arts Festival.
Featuring Buncrana drummer Laurence Doherty, the
band was formed in 1980 and was heralded as one of
the country's finest jazz-funk bands. Their new
line-up two decades later will see Maeve Dunphy
fronting the group for this very special concert in
the Plaza. |

The band will also

own Henry Girls will play a free event with the
Casablanca-based Gawa Fusion at the Persian Bar in
Carndonagh on Wednesday, July 8. Other festival

Harmon – at Carndonagh Library on Wednesday, July 15
