“Partnering with such a hugely successful local band was the natural choice for Tourism NI. The Ports new single, The Few and Far Between, is the perfect musical accompaniment for our ‘Say Hello to More’ advertisement, punctuating the narrative and conveying a sense of adventure to the viewer. As footage of the iconic landscapes, world class visitor attractions and five-star accommodation in Northern Ireland is beamed out I have no doubt that ‘Say Hello to More’ will be recognisable across the country”.
