Acting Arts Officer Deborah Mulholland<\/strong> said \u201cwe wanted to create something exciting and completely different for Project 24\u2019s first Christmas. With the digital light show by Pixel Poi and Out of the Shadows we believe we\u2019ve brought exactly that to Bangor and these will be Christmas events unlike any other.
