As part of Boyle Arts Festival, supported by our Creative Roscommon Open Call for Outdoor Performances,  Brothers of Charity (BOC) Creative Arts Programme have created a huge spectacle parade, put together by Spark Catchers in association with the Brothers of Charity staff members which saw the service users from many of the county’s facilities come together to tell the story of “Odras and the River Boyle.” Rhythmic instruments, support and tuition from Rhythm Riot Music added to the atmospheric enactment of the underworld Morrigan stealing the prized bull. 

In advance of and in preparation for the parade performance, the BOC Creative Arts programme in Roscommon collaborated with Music Generation tutors on percussion workshops and a number of the people supported have really shown a keen interest in developing their skills in this area.
