Firemen and Riverdance

Reuniting people who shared a unique experience. The firemen who were due to take part in their passing out ceremony on Bloody Friday get the chance to do so.

Reuniting people who have shared a unique experience in Northern Ireland's past.

Bloody Friday in July 1972 was one of the darkest days of the Troubles. A group of trainee firefighters were preparing to take part in their official 'passing out' ceremony, but the events of the day meant they would receive an initiation no amount of training could have prepared them for. They never got to pass out and more than 40 years on, they are reunited to right that wrong.
