In July 2016 Josie Nugent launched her CD Modal Citizen in Fealty's Back Bar, Bangor. She invited her husband Brian Stafford, Alan Burke, Seamus O'Kane, Geordie McAdam, Dianna Skillen, Nigel Boullier and Aoibheann Devlin to play a few tunes with her. Geordie, a fiddle player and maker, brought six of his latest creations - six matchstick fiddles. These were very popular with the crowd and were "baptised" by fiddle players Nigel, Geordie, Aoibheann, Josie and Dianna.
