Since then they have celebrated the pivotal sounds of The Everly Brothers music with enthusiastic crowds all across the US and over-seas in iconic clubs, theatres, performing arts centres, casinos, ballrooms, and colosseums. The Zmeds say, “Our aim is to honor the aesthetics of their iconic sound and honor their unique place in music history all while telling our own personal story,” and they do just that. Growing up with a father, (Adrian Zmed) as a traveling singer/dancer/actor (Grease 2 Bachelor Party, T.J. Hooker), and a mother (Barbara) as a second grade teacher in a suburb of Los Angeles, the Zmed Brothers continually strive to pay homage to their roots by always infusing an instinctual blend of entertainment (a la Smothers Brothers) and contextual education in their performance. The 5 piece band consists of drums (Burleigh Drummond), electric guitar (rotating members), bass (rotating members), and the two singing brothers (Zachary and Dylan Zmed) up front with the signature Everly acoustic guitars. The whole group is absolutely thrilled to be contributing to a cause that Follow us on Facebook www.facebook.com/causewaycoastglensvisitorinfo/ Twitter: VisitInfo@CCAG Page 3 Your Weekly What’s On 19 November 2018 Causeway Coast & Glens supports the recognition and preservation of the intimate origins of American's greatest Rock n' Roll singing sibling duo.

A Degree of Danger. The university is in the grip of dark forces. Can you defeat them? You will need to blag your way into and out of dangerous situations. You will need to operate undercover facing high security challenges. You will survive this adventure only by working as a team. This is a very different type of theatre experience, designed for a generation looking for a mix of immersive storytelling, game-playing content and social interaction. This is audience as player, a heroine of their own story, not a passive witness. This event is part of a special creative outreach programme for the local community as part of the 50 year anniversary celebrations on the Ulster University Coleraine campus this year.
