The Bard of Armagh festival may be claimed as the apogee of culture in the city, or alternatively viewed as an excuse for a good night out.
The Armagh City Hotel provided a focal point during the festival for revellers out enjoying the buzz that surrounds the city in this momentous year.
Some familiar bods were out enjoying themselves – Patrick and Rosaleen Kernan; Brendan Smyth and wife Bernie; Sean Scully along with his better half; Hester and Edgar Marshall.
