Music arranger and musican Martin McAllister is much sought after as an accompanist and as a session musician. It coudl be justifiably claimed that he has trained more people to the guitar than any other teacher in Ireland. Now is the time for the singling chicklets he has nurtured to test their wings. They come from Castleblayney, Crossmaglen, Keady and much of the South Armagh, South Monaghan area, are mostly young, and some will be taking the stage for the very first time.  The standard of all the performers is assured but this night will give you a good chance to 'look into the seeds of time and see which grain will grow and which will not'.
