There was an early morning queue from 6am in west Belfast for Covid-19 vaccinations and the chance of festival tickets. The first 500 who received the Pfizer jab at Falls Park walked away with free tickets to Féile an Phobail's diversionary Féile Music Night.
The event at Falls Park on 8 August features international DJ Paul Van Dyk and Judge Jules. The initiative comes as the youngest age groups have proven the slowest in Northern Ireland to take up the vaccine.
Peter Berne was one of the first to emerge after receiving his Pfizer jab and his free ticket. Also among the lucky first 500 were mother and daughter Geraldine McCabe and Fionnuala McLoughlin who said they were going to get the vaccine anyway but the tickets were a bonus.
