Absolutely. As I said in my earlier answer, I welcome any opportunity to highlight our rich cultural and musical heritage. I am not familiar with exactly what is going on in the Member's area, but I am familiar with next year's event because I have been briefed by the organisers. Certainly, I welcome any opportunity to highlight those who encompass all the musical traditions in Northern Ireland.
