In the well-attended event at St Andrew's Church, all four - Andrea Stevenson (Conservative), Michael Connarty (Labour), Stephen Glen (Liberal Democrats), Tam Smith (SNP) - were put to the test by the public.
The good-humoured evening was chaired by Frank Hartley, pastor of Craigmailen Church.
The hustings event was sponsored by St Andrew's Parish Church.
The evening also made history, being the first time a
