That collective is known as GIN (Gigs in Newry) Promotions and, having set up just over six months ago, are well on their way to giving music fans from this part of the country the opportunity to experience original live bands right on their doorstep.GIN, made up of Gavan Quigley, John Torley, and Micheal McEvoy, has already put on two top notch tribute acts in the shape of the Complete Stone Roses and Smiths’ cover band, These Charming Men.

They will soon be taking the next step with acclaimed jazz group The James Taylor Quartet, coming to the area. The gig was due to be in Warrenpoint Town Hall on Saturday, but the show has been postponed until a later date. Despite the plethora of local bands playing gigs in the Newry and Mourne area, there still seems to be sections of the population that aren’t willing to take the chance of seeing an original band right on their doorstep. With Newry now firmly established as a growing city, GIN feels that the time is right for music lovers to come forward and support people like GIN Promotions.
