Combining the worlds of music and film, the Pigeon Field festival in Ballymoney is offering something different for festival lovers. Besides a wealth of music talent such as Farriers, Grainne Duffy, Katie And The Carnival, Antony Toner and Swanee River, the festival features some innovative distractions in the form of moving pictures. The Leslie Hill based festival has lined up a season's worth of independent films, both short and full length, along with events such as a screening of the Blair Witch in a forest. Among the featured shorts are movies such as Six Shooter, an award winning black and bloody Irish comedy set on a train that stars Brendan Gleeson; Oscar nominated The Door, about a man who steals a door; and another multi-ward winner, Of Best Intentions – a story about the fickle nature of fate. Other attractions include the Friday night BBQ, an acoustic stage for bands, poets and songwriters, Two Minute Max film competition, and a range of food and concession stands. Oh, and probably a very nice weekend. The Pigeon Field festival takes place from Friday 19 to Saturday 20 August in Leslie Hill, Ballymoney. Tickets cost £30 for a festival only ticket. Camping will be charged on the gate at £2.50 per person per night. Visit www.pigeonfield.com for further details.
