Derry’s very own Undertones and The Moondogs are to team up for a one-off concert taking place in St Columb’s Hall in Derry on 13 December next.
The Undertones
Also appearing will be The Clameens, one of Derry’s up and coming bands.
The Moondogs do not perform frequently and as such the gig at St Columb’s Hall presents a rare opportunity to see the band perform their songs live.
And the band’s members are looking forward to the gig, being held as part of Derry’s City of Culture celebrations.
Gerry McCandless said: “I can’t wait to play again with The Moondogs and what makes it all the better is that I know so many people who can’t wait to see us as well.”
Austin Barrett said: “There’s actually something kind of more enjoyable about playing with The Moondogs after such a long time. Part of it is hearing and playing the songs but another part of it is knowing that the sound still resonates with young audiences.”
Jackie Hamilton said: “Looking back at our heyday, being in The Moondogs for me was like going to university for many of my peer group – we worked hard and played harder. This gig at Christmas will just be like many of those university gigs we played throughout the UK and Ireland. Like then, it will be an opportunity to see fans and friends that you just don’t otherwise get to see unless it’s a special occasion like this one.”
The Clameens, Sean Breslin, Ryan McCaughey and Diver brothers Hayden and Ethan, are one of the most exciting and versatile around on the Northern Irish music scene at the moment
Tickets for the show, costing £16.50 including booking fee, are on sale now and are available from www.millenniumforum,co,uk.
