''A rambunctious middle-aged single mother of an insecure teenage girl becomes pregnant by a man half her age in the entertaining yet unexpectedly heart-stabbing A Bump Along The Way. What starts out as a low-budget, Derry-set broad comedy takes a poignant detour through the subtle and unsubtle bullying of women of all ages to emerge as a rewarding mother-daughter romance.'' - ScreenDaily

The evening will be a very special occasion as we present Bronagh with the 'Maureen O'Hara Award', here is more about Bronagh.

Born in 1972 in Northern Ireland, Bronagh became involved in the performing arts, including music and drama during her teenage years. She later joined a local amateur drama group known as the Oakgrove Theatre Company. Bronagh made her screen debut in 1989, starting mostly on television series. Her first big feature film appearance was in Alan Parker 's The Commitments followed three years later in Quentin Tarantino 's Pulp Fiction . Five years after that she appeared in George Lucas's film prequel Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

Rolling into the 21st century, Bronagh's work balanced out evenly between television and film. Further film appearances included Tristan + Isolde and Sherlock Holmes . Her additional television work included Holby City , The Bill , The Field of Blood and Pramface .

Bronagh still remains active as a singer as well as a musician, making her one of the most multifaceted Irish performers of our time.
