BREWERY BOYS STORM STANLEY PUBS

A Gaelic six-piece band, The Brewery Boys, have been a huge hit in Stanley’s pubs as well as Military establishments during this past week. They began playing their own unique brand of Irish Music the day they arrived on the 4th of February. During their extremely busy time in the Falklands the band played at the Globe Tavern, Victory Bar, FIDF Hall and Hillside Mess.
Their music was broadcast live over FIBS for a half an hour on Friday evening. Another treat was a lunchtime session at the Globe Beer Garden, where friends and family had the opportunity to lounge on the grass with BBQ in hand and music wafting through the air. Falklands favourites, Jock and Liz Elliot sang with the band for a good 40 minutes.
The band’s last venue will be on February 9th at the Victory Bar. Money raised during the venues is going to the Stephen Jaffray Memorial fund and The Royal Irish Regiment Benevolent Fund.
