  The Folk Club has managed a big scoop - bringing cult American singer Peter Case to The Avenue Bar venue on Saturday 11 May. 
 Case's songs and powerful presence bring to mind the intensity of Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen, a raw bluesy voice, crisp guitar and wailing harmonica.
 Top local music writer Colin Harper claimed Case's last gig in Downpatrick in 1997 was one of the best he'd ever heard.
