The piece, which was created to commemorate the town’s 400th anniversary, has been written by well-known Northern Ireland composer Brendan Breslin.

The piece, ‘Bound for Bantry Bay’, will be performed by the Lourdes Brass Band from Drogheda during the Band Championships in the town next Saturday which, organisers say has attracted a record number of participants.
