On Wednesday a few of our members attended the monthly meeting of Donaghadee Blue Banner jlol781 to talk about our band and demonstrate our different flutes. As you can see a number of us did enjoy it when the Lambeg drum was produced. @OrangeOrder

Great night at the joint harp and thistle concert with @RMBandScotland and Royal Irish Regiment band. We are biased but it was one of our own who stole the show. Hope you enjoy this clip

To many of us John was the only person any of us knew who was murdered in the troubles so this is a fitting tribute to him and his three colleagues
A memorial to four UDR soldiers killed by the IRA in 1990 is to be installed at the cenotaph in Newtownards, Co Down. ➡️ https://t.co/qrKC8nqKvx
