Rural Key Award

<br />

In April 2008, the awards cabinet got a little bigger when the group’s Rural Key Music Project was selected by the Carnegie UK Trust as Northern Ireland’s ‘Rural Spark’.

The Carnegie Rural Spark Awards recognise those groups who have helped to transform the areas in which they live and have achieved something remarkable within their rural community.

Dedicated sponsor of the Rural Key Music Project, UnLtd said:

“It is not surprising to learn that Paddy has been shortlisted as a rural champion.

“He is unstoppable and has worked tirelessly over the years to transform his area.  Paddy’s efforts have brought people from all walks of life together to develop and showcase their talents, his work has made an impact on the local economy and put the area on the map.

“He is an agent for change and support from Rural Sparks would enable him to bring even more positive change to the area.
