A group of youngsters from Dundalk set off this morning for Brazil, where they will be spending the next month building new homes for the impoverished there.

For a few of them, they had a chance encounter with top Irish act the Original Rudeboys while waiting for their flight from Dublin Airport.

Pictured above are Jane Arthur, Eva Gallagher, Aimee Crawford and Katie Bailey with the Dublin-based trio, who performed in Dundalk as recently as last weekend in Oriel Park.

Best of luck to the four girls on their trip and here’s hoping this is the first of many great memories to come.

A new one day music festival called Oriel Live will take place in Oriel Park on Saturday July 6th.

The new event, which will feature three stages, will have over 25 acts performing at it including the likes of Bressie, The Original Rudeboys, Parlour Flames and many more.

The event will replace Fortstock, which had been due to take place in the Vances Estate in Clones, Co Monaghan on the same day.

This has been cancelled, however, due to a licencing issue with Monaghan County Council.

The Oriel Live website will go live tomorrow afternoon at www.oriellive.ie, where further details will be available.
