If you want to kick of the weekend early no better place than Burren GAC where their Festival Weekend begins with Nathan Carter entertaining tonight Thursday.
On Friday night an extra special night of Sacred Songs is on offer at Newry Cathedral from 7.30pm. Performing pieces ranging from the beautiful choral works of Giovanni Palestrina and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart through to the sublime luscious harmonies of John Tavener the concert promises to be a spectacular display of fine music performed at the highest standard.
Also on Friday night Colum Sands from the legendary Sands Family brings along some friends of his to entertain his audience at the Mourne Country Hotel for an epic night of humour and songs penned from Colum's observations on the idiosyncrasies and oddities of ordinary life, and try saying that with a few pints of porter in you!
Lastly if you like the live music rocking visit Amplified where they have a charity gig with The Shout Headlining from 9pm.
Take the children along to a Family Fun day at Saval GAC on Saturday from noon or if you are into your extreme sports Rostrevor is the place to be from Saturday to Monday with Kilbroney Forest Park hosting the 2013 Rostrevor MTB Festival. Plenty of biking action and competitive competitions throughout the weekend.
On Saturday night The classic laugh a minute History of the Troubles (Accordin to my da!) is at Newry Town Hall from 8pm. Also Saturday night Passion Disco is on in the Bellagio Suite in Bellinis from 9.30pm for the local gay community and friends.
Sunday night sees The Nooks play at the Saval GAC Festival or if you are in to your dance music there's an Energy 106 Reunion at BED Nightclub.
