Who was Giant Finn MacCool?
There are many heroic legends surrounding Finn MacCool, comparisons have been drawn between him and the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Finn was reputed as being the leader of the Fianna, the guardians of the King of Ireland whom he formed from a rough bunch of warriors in an elite group of men who transformed under his command into the manifestation of justice and honour, they were the people's heroes. Finn's famous son whose mother was the goddess Sadb, is said to be buried in Glenaan. It is worth noting that many of the great legends of Ireland are based or linked to the north coast of Ulster, There must be some correlation between this and the fact that Whitepark Bay was where man first settled in Ireland..

<p>Uplifting songs, sing-along ballads, bawdy tales and a bit of the brew are trademarks of Beer Belly, a six-piece band from Slovenia. The aim of the group is to present the sound of Irish reels and jigs, Scottish bagpipes and traditional Celtic music through live performances and to surprise with arrangements of more famous irish bands as well as with the music of their own Members of the band come from a wide and varied assortment of musical backgrounds including folk, classical, rock and jazz styles. This rich history, plus their passion for this difficult but enjoyable musical style sets them apart from many of the groups in their country. Other particularities of the band are also the accordion which plays bagpipe lines and the great kilt, which they wear at open-air festivals. Band members: Uros Kavcic - guitar, banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, darabuka, lead vocals Miha Pinteric - accordion, backing vocals Spela Jansa - fiddle, piano, tamburin, backing vocals Jure Rozman - banjo, guitar, backing vocals Saso Krzisnik - mandolin, banjo, guitar Adrijan Novak - contrabass, afterparty accordion, backing vocals</p><p> </p>
