Hi folks, we're delighted to announced the return of the annual 70s/80s for Aiden night. It will be the ninth such event to be held. Once again, it will happen at the Fir Trees Hotel, and will take place on Saturday, May 10.
This annual event is in memory of Aiden McAteer. In February of 2014, Strabane lost a good friend and the McAteer family lost an amazing brother and son as Aiden sadly passed away following a brave battle with Leukaemia.
Throughout his illness and treatment, Aiden's attitude and positive spirit never faltered. That legendary smile was forever present as he greeted people just like he always did. His positivity is a lasting memory that continues to inspire.
Aiden travelled far and wide and made his mark everywhere he went. He also worked in many establishments in Strabane. Simply put - he knew everybody and everybody knew him. And anybody who really knew Aiden knew that he liked all things 1980s. With that in mind we decided to host an EIGHTIES NIGHT in memory of 'St Aiden of the Smile' with all proceeds going towards Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI.
So far we've hosted eight unforgettable nights and we're now all set to return with another great night of music. As ever, we can't do it without you, so from today you can have extra fun thinking of something to wear, with the Abba-tastic, glam, disco and punk swag of the 70s going head-to-head with the extravagant fa-fa-fa-fashions of the 1980s!
Of course, fancy dress is not essential; everyone is more than welcome to come along and enjoy a great night's music, all for a great cause and in memory of a special guy, and we also remember friends and family who have been affected in some way by blood cancer.
There will also be loads of raffles and prizes on the night and, yes, a prize for the BEST OUTFIT. Admission: 5 quid.
Hopefully you can join us for a great night.
