Live music, quizzes and comedy to keep you entertained in your home

WE hope everyone enjoyed the jam-packed Easter weekend of entertainment, where early closing hours certainly didn’t apply. Friday night saw Brothers Inc AKA Ryan and Darren Pritchard streaming to 30,000 plus people, raising money for the Foyle Women’s In-formation Network, while Dermy Taggart’s regular Friday night stream helped to raise some muchn eeded funds for our frontline workers.

Across the weekend there was something to suit all musical tastes and this week is no exception. I’ve picked out some highlights for the week ahead.
