Along with General Fiasco will be a host of other local artistes at what promises to be an exciting extravaganza of music and dance. Newry is one of only four Evening Celebrations in the North and I would invite everyone to bring family and friends to Park Esler to celebrate the inspirational Future Flames who will have carried the Olympic Flame through Newry.”
