Such a magnificent songwriter. Roy gave Newpoint great support when performing our Trial shows in Derry and was the heart of the post show soirée. R. I. P.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Derry~Londonderry singer-songwriter Roy Arbuckle. A respected artist and past ACNI funding recipient.

Utterly transformative workshop with opera singer Ben McAteer today [ex-Newpoint Youth too, of course].
Next stop for Ben is Vienna but he was most generous with his time and advice. Never critical, always constructive. Ta, Ben!
...here, tall, isn't he?
