A statement from Contemporary Music Centre said they were “delighted to continue our partnership with Northern Lights Project in support of RAMP - Rathmullan Music Project.

“RAMP is a dynamic and engaging addition to the New Music annual events calendar in the north and northwest.

“Contemporary recognises and fully supports the important and vital work of RAMP in developing audiences for improvised and experimental music, and in showcasing the work of artists active in new music in Ireland, outside of the major urban centres on the island.”
