The huge crowd which were treated to a great night by Brideview Drama Group

Last Friday night saw a huge crowd in the community centre theatre hall for what was an absolutely fabulous performance of 'The Weir' by the Brideview Drama group from Tallow.

It was standing room only as this award-winning amateur drama group took to the stage.

One could hear a pin drop throughout the entire performance as these hugely talented group of actors captivated the audience in what was a night that will be remembered for a long time in Ballymacarbry.

From the amazing set, sound, lighting and acting, Brideview Drama are an amateur drama group in name only and it is easy to understand how this group received so much accolade.

Huge thanks to director Jack Aherne and his entire crew for bringing this special night to Ballymacarbry Community Centre and we wish the group the very best of luck as they bring the play back to Tallow with a number of performances in the coming days! (Sun 2nd Feb, Mon 3rd Feb and next weekend Fri 7th to Sun 9th Feb).

If you missed this play in Ballymacarbry, a visit to Tallow is a must!

Very special thanks must also go to locals Pat & Carmel Melody and Jim Ryan whose efforts were instrumental in bringing this play to Ballymacarbry.

The organizing committee would also like to pay special thanks to those who rowed in on the night to help everything run smoothly, the many people who helped with teas/coffees, the many who brought along cakes/buns/biscuits, Darren Guiry and Stephen Shields for covering our roadside stewarding, Thomas Crotty and Tom Halpin for their role as doormen on the night and the many others that contributed to making this night a huge success.
