ABOUT OUR GUESTS
Frankie Bannon, Owner of Studio 23.
Studio Twenty Three, based in Newry was born in 2019 by Frankie Bannon with the aim to make art more accessible for people of all creative abilities, to just let go, experiment, and have some fun!
After studying a BA (Hons) in Textile Art and Fashion Design, Frankie took herself off to Australia for nearly a decade and like most people in their 20’s had gone down the more traditional working route without any art in her life.

David Wilson, Managing Director of Montalto Estate.
David is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants with ‘Big Four’ experience in both Dublin and Belfast. Coming from a family with two previous generations of business success in Northern Ireland, it was always David’s intention to be his own boss.
That opportunity arose in 2009 when the Wilson family recognised a demand for an exclusive luxury venue for business and private purposes. By utilising their former family home, Montalto House opened as a private hire venue in 2010.
