The big bands live in Carrick Field, Moville are THE HUMBLE EARTHWORM AND LIGHTNING STRIKES.
The Humble eartworm kicks off at 9.00pm until 11.30 and Lightning Strikes run from 12 to 2am.
Lightning Strikes, one of Irelands most sensational acts have just launched an exciting new stage show, encompassing the hits and sounds of a galaxy of international stars. Encluded in the action packed spectactular are stunningly realistic tongue in cheek tribute songs to Loaf, Blondie, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Madness, John Travolta, Olivia Newton John and the Bay City Rollers. With no less than 14 costume changes throughout the show with brilliant musical and vocal performances, this unique, multi tribute production is the closest you will get to tthe real thing (without breaking the bank) the show is constantly being updated with new members being added to cater for changing musical tastes and the demands of the audience. Without doubt it is the ultimate entertainment package and a great night out with the sounds of the 70's, 80's and 90's.
The Humble Earthworm are a good lively modern pop band who play alot of Jon Bon Jovi and U2 music.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Inishowen Vintage Show is now in its 8th year and the final plans are now in their final stage with a large selection of side shows planned. Including the ever popular tractor building included, in which this year there will be 3 team participating; Inishowen, Ballygawley and Mount Bellew. This year we have the pleasure of Mr Michael Hoey who will be sending us one of his rarest models; an immaculate DOE 130, bought at Chierftains sale in England and restored last year this 130 HP tractor consists of 2 165HP preforce Ford 5000 joined together and is a very impressive sight. This tractor has only worked 5080 hours from new and was used for spraying an Essex England.
This year we will also have the hilariously funny poteen makers, roller reversing, threshing demonstrations, digger driving trials, butter churning and basket making along with numerous other craft stall and trade stands. Last year we had a crowd of between 3000 - 4000 people on the day and we hope to see everyone back again this year. Any further enquiries can be made to Noel at 0035386 6062038 and Sammy at 0035386 2574554.
