Renowned musician and songwriter Arborist launches the new series on Thursday, January 28 at 8pm, live and free on Facebook via Flowerfield Arts Centre and Roe Valley Arts & Cultural Centre.

Arborist is Mark McCambridge, a solo performer, sometimes a duo and occasionally a seven-piece band. Mark played his first show as Arborist supporting James Yorkston, before a solo tour of Ireland. This was quickly followed by some very notable support slots alongside Low, Cat Power, Echo and The Bunnymen and Guy Garvey.

One of the best songwriters on the island, Arborist delivers a live set that is poignant, introspective and staggeringly beautiful.

Northern Lights continues on Thursday, February 11 with another true storytelling event from the acclaimed Tenx9, 7.30-9.30pm on Zoom. With Valentine’s Day ahead and all of us in the grip of the pandemic, nine people will present their ten minute true stories about sickness & health - a phrase said by many couples embarking on life together.

Organisers are asking for the public to take part, so if you have a story to share, submit it online or find out more at www.tenx9.com/submissions.

While Northern Lights Sessions events are open to all, it is essential to register in advance.
