St. Valentines Day Dance – 2025

Join the band for the first event of 2025 with a romantic night of music and dancing.

In Memory – Martin (Marty) Wilson

In memory of a distinguished musician, Marty served as Principal Trombone of the Ulster Orchestra since 1989, enriching Northern Ireland’s cultural landscape for over three decades.
His exceptional talent extended beyond classical music – he was also an accomplished jazz singer and served as Musical Director of the Belfast Jazz Swing Orchestra for four years, delighting audiences at numerous BJSO evenings.

Halloween Dance 2024

Halloween dances have a rich history that dates back centuries, evolving from ancient harvest festivals and Celtic Samhain traditions into vibrant community celebrations that transcend generational boundaries. Originally marked by gatherings that honoured the changing seasons and paid tribute to spirits, these events have transformed into joyous occasions filled with music, fancy dress, and dancing under the autumn moon. Today, Halloween dances serve as a beloved tradition, bringing people together in a spirit of camaraderie and creativity, where the thrill of the spooky season is matched only by the joy of connection and shared revelry. As we prepare for Halloween Dance 2024, we invite everyone to join in the fun, embrace the magic of the night, and create lasting memories with friends and family alike.

Showtime with the Fortwilliam Musical Society
