The Short(er) Blacks
Roy says, “Ahha! Two old crusties still doing what they love. The Short Blacks! Since I lost my legs, now known as The Shorter Blacks.”
“Bringing you Celtic ballads with guitar in the hands of an English man. Go figure! Sit back, relax and maybe the odd stretched yarn too.” The Short(er) Blacks are Roy McGuinness and Julian Ward. Definitely not short on personality, humour or musical talent!
Note: The concert will be on the first floor, with access via stairs or the lift. You may have to press the button at the side of the door to gain access to the building.
